First off, Ernie Crey isn't the angel he makes himself out to be. He is a known poacher to those at DFO. He has organized a lot of illegal fishing when he feels he and his friends are entitled to it. His comments about being left off the river while spawning escapements are met give him away as well.
Tell me...what does a First Nations band need with 3000 Sockeye? Are they eating Sockeye for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner? The Sto:Lo have already taken 1500 Springs and Lower Fraser bands have taken 5000 Springs to date in 2010. Hmmm...5000 Springs already?! That's more fish than have been sold at every store in Vancouver, Vancouver Island and the entire province of BC in 2010!!!
Include the illegal drifts at night when no one is around watching them and I don't want to know how many fish have really been caught! I know that a couple of buddies in Agassiz and 2 other employees at my work have already bought Springs from the Natives. One of them bought 2 25 lb Springs for $40!!!!! What a joke.
Anyways, as for the Sox, if they do show in those numbers, I'll be whacking limits for all anglers on board..shamelessly.
