What I noticed is that those who work for WDFW are lazy people and they won't give tickets unless they can drive to the pier and walk 5 steps. I was fishing at pier 69 the other night and the WDFW police drove to us with a truck and check our licences and limits. There were two of us only. Pier 70 from the right was packed with people, but they had to walk there - and that is something they don't like to do. Those two police are getting good pay, with taxpayers money, and can't even do their job properly. I don't give any credits for increased # of squids in our waters to WDFW and to 10lb limit policy, but instead to a good ocean condition (Same thing can be said about Coho salmon this year, even though WDFW decreased funds to hatcheries and even closed some, Coho return was better then previous years). Recreational fishermen simply can't do any harm from the piers, nor with one or two poles; they can't even catch one or two percent of those squids. Do you really thing that 2-3 thousand squid fishermen can do harm? 70-80% of those fishermen won't even catch a daily limit ones for the season. This is a money eating machine that need to be cut in half at least because if it won't be cut in half, we would need licences to stay on the piers pretty soon.

You are too funny. Using the "they are too lazy to catch me" excuse. Wow. Class act.
Wouldnt we all be better off if everyone operated under that assumption of our law enforcement? Just think no speed limits, bc heck they cant catch you anyways. No limits bc hey they cant see how many we catch, if they arent watchin. Heck we could shop lift too bc we all know those security guards cant actually arrest us without a cop. I could go on and on. The fact is that if everyone was like you and overfished, including the commercial fisherman, there would be no squid right now for you to catch.
Go ahead and blame this on another political shortfalling like you did above. Its kinda like catching a kid shop lifting. "it wasn't me, I didnt do it. I wouldnt have done it if my mom gave me more lunch money." Blah blah blah... everyone knows what you are doing is wrong, period. Keep trying to convince yourself that its cool.
