For two years now the Federal Government has given disaster relief money to trollers in California and Oregon. As someone who fishes Alaska it upsets me that while collecting money from the federal government these trollers are then allowed to come to Alaska and essentially double dip and crowd the drags with all the extra boats. Am I the only one that thinks this is not right? I think it should be one or the other. Go fishing or take the money not both. It's becoming more difficult to make a living trolling and it doesn't help to have all these boats that wouldn't usually be in Alaska if California was open. :x
