Here is the white house plan.

I have read over the last link a couple of times now (and it is hard to read) and when I read it, to me, it has environmentalist views written all through it as to what they are looking to do.

Now as to Robert Mongromy statement, I read it as the way the Administration has it worded..."it could be used" to effect the recreational side of fishing, just as the Catch Shares "will" effect the recreational anglers.

How about this dumb ass for 6 years i have paid for this site to be here and dont force anyone to do anything.

If that is really what you think of me then good for you.

To be honest what the hell do i really need more traffic for so my bills can go up?
You think we get good support around here?

If you do your high as a kite. I have paid for years took on a partner and he has paid for years.
Why?
Cause I love the sport!

Trust me not for the money.

My money comes from consulting and web work not sportfishermen.com

So think what you may and fact is you dont know me.

If "generating traffic" is gonna get even one more ear opened and get one more set of gray matter cells looking toward ways to fix, then I'm all for it. You are a perfect example of why we face an uphill battle in getting our rights restored. Always the pessimist. Always Mister Negative. "Oh theres an alterior motive"... "Can't work so I wont try..."
Do us a favor if thats your stance. Go chase a rolling donut...

*** Admin John... Didn't see you posted... I appreciate all you do for us here and you know I mean that from my heart. We do face a serious challenge from the smiling cobras in Washington and I hope we can keep this sport of ours alive.

Get jiggy wit concern!

Oh and by the way I spent 7 months living in a truck helping people from Slidell, Nola, and Venice.

To be honest hard to believe you live there as I met nothing but very kind people who just wanted help.

But I guess i was there for the money right. Only if you knew.

I cant put it into words, just what fishing experiences have ment to me.

So just a video, which pretty much sums it up for me.

Great friends, great times on Mother Ocean.

civil disobedience we need to "shake and wake" up the general population to what is going on. if some fu(ktard in a lobster suit can protest the sale of live lobster then we need to do the same. i will not let ANYONE take my freedom to fish from me or my family this is how i support them also. so to you P O S's that monitor these sites do you see this WE WILL UNITE WE WILL CRUSH YOU I DARE YOU TO TRY AND STOP ME COME AND GET ME. they are going to make those of us who still go fish NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO criminals so to that i say here i am come and get it!!!!!!!
sorry for the rant but this is too much to handle they will in the end make ALL of us criminals just for enjoying the gift that the ocean gives us.

OK,

You have a sensitive side I can see that now. I apologize if the jab was too rough.

Now what I was pointing out - posts don't equal action.

Where is Sportfishing.coms plan, vision, goals and overall plan to focus the members ?!

Also - thank you for coming down and assisting after Katrina.
I'll always acknowledge the volunteers that assisted.

I admit to being a bit suprised at the reaction given all the rough play in various threads. But the intimidation with posting where somebody lives - genius!
