The sport fishing community has been getting better and better over the years at targeting and catching Chinook.
There is talk of eliminating a couple of instruments that make us good at what we do.
One is the elimination of the downrigger.
Two is the elimination of cut plugging.
The mortality rate of released chinook from cut plugs is seriously HIGH.
It could be in our best interests for us to suggest ways to help rather than have closure after closure ...
If we dont , Ottawa will ram it down our throat or up our @#$ if we like it or not.
Think about coast wide catch and release? if we dont come up with real good suggestions , that is what we will be getting.
