All hands on deck!!!

[Nelly]

I know it's the Holiday Season and we're all busy,... but if you care about the current, positive direction of our fisheries management... It's time for the recreational fishermen to show up...in big numbers!!!

The meeting including Columbia River (9:00am) Saturday and Shrimp Policy adoption has been moved to the Comfort suites Conference Center in Tumwater (See Press Release below)

The State is expecting a large group of Commercials, and we need a strong representation of Recreationals to listen and then make public comment after the briefing. The Commercials are making a last stand effort and we need SERIOUS SPORTFISHERMEN SUPPORT!!

In addition, the adoption of the increased Puget Sound recreational shrimp allocation is about 12:30 Saturday

Thanks for reading this and listening! Here is the Press Release.
