This salmon season off the North Coast could be the worst ever. State Senator Mike McGuire and Assemblyman Jim Wood want to do something about that. The salmon season has been severely cut this year and the population is dwindling. McGuire and Wood are asking for the disaster declaration from the federal government so money can be made available for  fishermen who’ve already been hard hit by the crab season of the past few years.
