My thoughts:
I am involved w/ the Tautog AP, and know Frank.

I am anti- separate charter/rec regulations. We tried that with Blackfish and it didn't go so well.

Frank, whether you agree with him all the time or not generally has intentions that I agree with. He seems to get the management aspects and biology as well as any of us, and I'll support him. We can certainly do worse.

One of the pro's of having someone who's livelihood is based on rec. fisherman is that they are usually more passionate about getting to the meetings and staying involved.

Thats my 0.02 take it or leave it.
