My prediction is someone will end up shot sooner or later, fishers don't fuck around then again neither do the natives here, just a matter of who snaps first

As for what's happening when they refer to cedars those are females with eggs and right now is spawning season that is why the commercial fishery is shut down, to ensure that these stocks are not overfished so there can be a fishery next season.

Tinkers are undersized lobsters ,

And it's all rotten, just fished and not sold.

Apparently the natives sell a lot of it to china then whatever they don't sell goes for fertilizer, or so I've heard

The big issue is they are self regulating so basically doing whatever the fuck they feel like, all the while the commercial fishers season is closed and they're worried that there won't be any lobsters next season due to the way the natives fish, and also given it's spawning season.

That's the basics behind it, I'm not a fisher so I can't say what all the details are however
