Eben,
the only way to gain a win on issues like these are to play in the system...we all want to lasdh out but that just never works
you guys can fight these elite landowners, but it takes organization
Get reps from every local fishing club to show up with prepared statements
Have prepared letters to hand out to fishers that can attend
Get everyone you guys can to show up...
It is important to get local buis ownwers that can appreciate the effect of fishers to testify to lost revenues
If a local club is an affiliate of RFA, CCa etc, get the national staff to write letters and help organize support with an action alert
good luck
