I believe they missed the boat on this one, they should have went with the use of a beach seine, could have taken the reds and released other catch,there would still be some other species kill but it would be a lot less than a gill net.

This net will be needed to control sockeye escapement once KRSA gets comm set nets banned in this "urban" area.

The set netters target sockeyes. KRSA is trying to ban set nets in "urban" areas, primarily Cook Inlet east side. These set nets are a big tool for F&G to control sockeye escapement into the Kenai River.

Their claim is that too many Kings are caught. The problem with their logic is that the early run of kings (May-June) has really dropped off but set netters don't fish then.

AFCA's exec officer is Clark Penney. The name should sound familiar; he is Bob Penny's grandson. Bob Penney is a big proponent of getting rid of commercial fishing to benefit sport fishing. Bob Penney should also be remembered for selling Sen. Liiisa Kenai River property (adjacent to his own) at such a discount to cause a big enough appearance of graft that she had to sell it back to Penney.

KRSA's Exec officer is Ricky Gease, the infamous liar that got fish board meetings dealing with Cook Inlet issues moved to Anchorage rather than Soldotna under the guise of safety for the board members from Comm fishers.

I just read your links,rather interesting .I wonder who first coined the expression urban area set net I don't think the term exist in the commercial regs. I'm surprised the judge didn't require lats and longs that establish fishing areas and boundrys,at least I didn't see it if she did.
