Re: Recreational Fishing Alliance 

Joe, a very good post, one that each person needs to read.  This was the Interim Report and not how it's goals will be meet.  It also does not lay of what science will be used.  I have no crystal ball to know what the report of The Federal Stratery to meet these goals will be.  I can only go on what the Magunuson-Steven Act has done to us and the goals stated by the present Administration.

Ms Leader, yes I am staying up with your questions on this site, cocerning the CCA I am getting more information tonight.  If you would like to see the options of a lot people go to the Florida Sportsman web site, their forums, conservation.  There is a vast amount of knowledge and options.  It took me four weeks of reseach before I went with the RFA , looking at the CCA, FRA.

Another suggestion I have is to call Vic on his radio show Sat. morning from 6 to 8.  690 AM I forgot the FM numbers.  He belonged to the CCA and now is a RFA member.

Re: Recreational Fishing Alliance 

The CCA did a good job when they started out, but for some reason have thrown the offshore guys under the bus.  The CCA is not responsive to its members, please Call Vic on the radio show Sat. Morning and ask him.  Vic is a very honest person.  I would love to see all of us very close and by the end of the day we may be.

My RFA chapter is going to represent the wishes of our local members.  A board will not make a stand without the support of the members as has happened in other organizatoions.  If Charlie or anyone else would like to communicate, my email is bait48@yahoo.com .

In the movie braveheart where all the trides were brought together to form a strong united front is what I am trying to do with all the clubs in North Florida.

You did not take me to lunch

There was no need to clean up your post, or cut it down.  I understand when ever politics get involed so do emotions and I do not get bother by negitive comments or comments that question my position.  As a matter of fact I put this information out so people can become aware of what is going on and do their own reseach and say I think this guy is right and I want to join his fight or no, I think he is full of it and i will not join him.  But, being part of this group I would think that you would be interested in fishing restrictions

The reason you should be concern is because we could lose our right to fish when and where we want.  We could lose our right to keep and eat the fish we enjoy.  All of these decessions could and are now being being based on very poor science.  Many of these decissions are being made by organizations that would love to take your rights away.

ESPN's legal and reseach staffs are one of the best in the world.  They have full-time staffs to do the reseach that most of us do on a part time bases. 

I do not know how entertaining I was, but I do thank the group for letting me come and speak, and I thank you for your input.  And you were right in your first post, fishing is more American than baseball.

 

 

All righty then......I have now had time.

 

I looked around and I saw several sites, that your site actually suggested, up and treat you poorly. Mostly we be friendly here. We enjoy surf fishing, and when it is done right, it becomes a lifestyle, so we be friendly.

I am probably the slowest of the bunch what be here, and that's OK. Bear with me here.

Usually, gentlemen rules apply here, and folks get to know us a little first, prior to asking for monies. But you spoke at the club's meal, and that took some respect for us. We should offer such in kind, and I am doing so, now. You are welcome to post your thoughts, but when you offer your opinion, please speak up. Most hear, don't..... unless it's clear. Everyone has one, so......

I asked you to splain me why an EsPen article should concern me, and you offered opinion. Perhaps we should start again.....I really don't mind at all.....what part of Obama's plan to destroy my way of life should I focus on ?

Your website has a link, one that is by a supporter I simply guess. He is the proprietor of a 'lead' alternative. Has him a patent on the formula. Suspect he pays to play, and has ever reason to do so. I would. But my deal is I pour my own sinkers, because it makes my friends so happy. That man is going to support legislation that phases in his stuff, phases out lead, and all at my expense.

Your group supports commercial fishing interests- mostly. I don't believe you care all that much about us, a mere niche market. Surf fisherwomen and all. Why do you care about us little people ? No one else even allows us to register on their radar screen.

But, I would not want to see you treated poorly here. Maybe you could spend some time here, filling us in on all the details about how our president is going to accomplish this feat. I read on EsPen's website the comments about the author of the piece. Google ESPN and enter into their search box "Obama Recreational Fishing", and hit enter. Ugly stuff for sure, from both sides. That ain't good.  Almost every comment that I have read on all the other sites I visted, said the same things as well.

Man don't know nothing. Wrote things what have no validity.

....and people are running around saying- 'see I told you so'.. Obama is going to do this to you unless you  (                ).

Obama might be clueless, but our congress creatures are not. Could you imagine a candidate saying....'Vote for me and we will be able to fish again."

I can't either. People made money off of Bush Derangement Syndrome, people ain't gonna get me to pay for Obama Derangement Syndrome. If it is as you suggest, it would be easy to WOW us with the facts. Let's have it, and if he ever does take away my lifestyle choice, I look forward to showing my valid picture ID at the ballot box. Great Faker or not, he ain't all that.

Bet the EsPen dude has already had a chat with his. If they are as professional as you answered, they will not leave this lay where it fell.

Welcome to update as you see fit, seem passionate about it. But don't scream wolf if all you have is mere speculations by an EsPen dude somewhere.

This is surely just my opinion. Maybe you are all that......and you are right in what you forward.....but it sounds fishy to me. I will withold my $35, thank you very much.

Maybe you can fix Mantanzas for us, I would send $35 for that.

Re: Recreational Fishing Alliance 

Get to know you, You have come to me for 400 or 500 dollars in donations that I give evey year for your tournament, probley been around longer than you. I have facts where snapper fishing is closed now and what the M/s and many people who have invested in boats are not using them, I see that maybe you do not understand the difference between the M/S act and the Interim Report.  And there two Florida congressmen right now fighting to protect your right to fish Sen. Nelson being one of them.
