They (managers) will absolutely listen if you show up and talk. Recreational friendly ,managers are dying for the recreational public to make some noise by showing up and participating.
Internet discussion like this is ok, but bottom line is that when it comes to Management meetings, there is close to ZERO attendence by the recreational public. All the comments on bait are right on in my opinion but at a recent Herring meeting there was no recreational attendence besides myself. There was a Menhaden meeting last month in Plymouth that lasted ....ready....15 minutes because no one showed up for that agenda item....
Talking here is good for dfiscussion but showing up and asking questions not yelling at managers is what is needed
Truth hurts but we (recreational fishers) love to complain and almost never show up to participate in the process. Further making things worse is when recreational representatives attempt to back up their statements to managers with a letter writing campaign or e-mail campaign of phone call campaign, everyone has an excuse why they did not participate and the recreational voice is once again ignored because it did not speak.
now I will get attacked by those who are feeling guilty about my statements
