SCRSG Dinner

[DaGoose]

Thanks for posting the link.

I was there for both meetings. We had a great turnout of folks in black supporting prop 2 that would somewhat mitigate the closure of mostly all of the prime coastal areas the enviros proposed in prop 3.

The end result was they still need to think about it before likely making a hybrid proposal on Nov 9 to submit to the DFG.

But I gotta tell ya the opposition is very well funded and politically backed. We need to stand together or we'll all get railroaded, left wondering how they could do that when it's all said and done...............

They play the game much better than we do at this point.

Tight Lines,

Rick
