IF YOU CARE ABOUT FISHING READ THIS NOW Bend Over The Big Ones Comming!

Insurance companies better wake UP! If there is no need to go boating, there will not be a need for boat insurance.

The effects of closures are far reaching.

How about all the people that own sportfish boats? If they can't fish they will try to sell them but obviously thier wont be a market for them. You will see thousands of boats handed back to banks so they can sit on them and let them rot.

Admin John
In response to your post in this informative thread. I am on board with whatever I can do to help the process to stem the flow of these closures and reverse the impact they have already made on our fishing communities as a whole. This is a dark time in our history not just for fishermen but for the American people and American way of life as a whole...
Let us know what we as individuals can do to help...

This is a very bad idea on the current administrations part. Obviously they are not afraid or didn't notice that here in Massachusetts we the people just elected Scott Brown (A REPUBLICAN) into the late Ted Kennedy's Senate seat. Trust me if this administration does not wake up, heads will role in the next election.

I AM A FISHERMAN AND I VOTE TOO!

John count me in. We got to change the way these people think.

John, I am aboard as well, what do I need to do?

[Robja]

Count me in as well John. If people no longer have a need for boats that will cut into my income since they won't need insurance. So far as my fishing: my going to the coast of NC and spending money for fuel, food, tackle etc well there will be no need if I can't put a fish in the box to eat. BUT it will mean I will travel more to Central America to stimulate their economy so I can fish.

I'm in. What exactly are we doing though? If you need a writer or editor for anything let me know, one of the few things besides fishing that I'm good at.

I'm in...standing by....

We need to band together as 1 voice to the federal govt.
If we have to threaten to defeat the present party in power then we must do so. Elections can be won or lost on the internet. Obama got much of his support on the internet. He can lose it here too. I have a large list of emails in the marine sector. we can get more. I believe that loss of support in the coastal towns of Mass added to the democratic defeat . Fishermen have a voice, we need to use it.

You all are going to learn how to use the power of the internet.

Obama won the election online and trust me he can also loose alot of support online.

I know some have waited for my response about the march on washington..

I guess ill say it in short.

I WAS A JOKE.
Maybe im the only one who can see that 1k to 3k people out of what 14 million fishermen is a joke!

Truckers know how to get it done. Truckers were organized.
NRA organized.

Funny part is commercial and rec argue but fact is rec's may loose first but commercial is also on a loosing track. Soon all our fish quota will be sold off as embargo.

Who remembers the sportfishing boat inside a china owned tuna pen?

Well about a month later i meet a guy who said he drove bunker to cabo to load those china boats with food for the fish.

So our tuna are being hauled away and our bunker is being used to feed them on the trip.

We can be heard and my guys and friends from 10 years online can help us with it.
I will launch the new forums and you all will have to help me get the real stories and the real passion of WE ALL ARE GOING TO LOOSE.

It can be done and it will take work and we will invest every dime we have to make sure it seen....

It will be up tonight with directions.
But basically start writing up what fishing means to you.
Family photos. Video speeches, interviews of industry owners who are going to get hurt bad.

This content will do way more then a form letter.
We can make sure the right people see it.
