BM,
I understand the sarcasm and wish the world of Striped Bass could be as I think it should be but it is not.
If we recs on the SB adisory panel stood up and started a Gamefish Status debate we would be ignored as there is just not taht much support by the average fisherman and the potential to get the proposals a little more conservative than the current plans would be lost.
to get things done in a democracy you can not stand up stating it is my way or the highway. Sorry if I seem to poinitng some of my personal frustrations at you. I am one of the very very few that actually show up at these meeting time and time again and you would not beleive how many recs stand up screaming and embarass those of us who are getting things done inside the system. the rec public was left out of the decision making process for many years because our leaders would stand up at a public hearing screaming that all things commercial are bad and all things recreational are good. then those same guys would go to a restaurant and have a plate of Fish & Chips. Rec groups are more organized than ever and have a seat at the table. We are making strides and could make more if we could get more that 5 people at a damn hearing.
