5/5/2017 10:37:40 PMI contacted the WDFW and asked about tribes long line fishing in the Straits. WDFW said the tribes were "mopping-up" from their March fishery, to catch remaining halibut to meet their quota. Reports are they caught an excessive amount recently, without any validation or oversight by WDFW. I for one am getting tired of this one-sided approach.
