Being a sportsman, I deplore snagging too, even though it's permitted in some Alaskan fisheries. I suspect, that most of us wouldn't be as disgusted by snagging if the runs were better.

IMO, all commercial netting should be banned from Neah Bay, inland. Puget Sound cannot support commercial fishing. The impacts are too great proportionate to the profits. Commercial fisherman don't like to admit that Puget Sound fishing is only useful as a way to pay for testing their gear before heading up to Alaska annually. The runs in P.S. are too pressured and depleted. And most agree that tribal netting of rivers is just plain stupid, although there is little anything can be done to change it.

If only we could model Florida and the way they manage their fisheries. All commercial and tribal netting is restricted far offshore. And, anglers only pay for licenses for fishing from boats. All beach and jetty fishing is free! This is the way it should be.

was there a good amount of fish in? If you fish the far side of the wall the fish can be very bitey as they are chum and aere super aggressive

What was the Flow like. Every chum fishery I have been to is a snag fest but I usually find an area that is free of Russians and ignorant clowns far away from the main pods of fish and still limit out and catch n release inbetween ill find the most unwanted spots and still out fish the snaggers. This will be my first time. Best way to ignore the snaggers is a pair of ear buds and to not pay attention just enjoy the fighting of fish. Although id prefer to chase them maybe in nook if there's a decent run or the samish.
