My take from reading that article is that various groups are way ahead of the fishing community on this and if we do not get ourselves organized they will clearly have greater influence on future regulations than the fishing community. As fisherman seem from history a difficult group to organize I wonder why the equipment manufacturers like Penn etc. are up to serving as the focal point for the fishing community's views. Maybe our tackle shops should contact their various reps and tell them of the problem and that we need them to serve as a point for voice of the fishing community.
