Government money better spent

To the Editor:

ADF&G has crunched the numbers on the Red King Crab survey from this summer. Once again by hauling a few pots at the wrong time of year and a lot of extrapolation they came up way short of having a fishery.

They do the survey every summer and rarely do we fish. Not sure what it costs for a large vessel and all the personnel that are crewing for the extra sea time pay, but it's significant. The only money made off Red Crab is by the personnel working the boat pretending to be crabbers. Seems like a big waste of funds.

I am sure the cost...
