Send the letters but don't expect instant gratification. I'll be at the meeting so long as they keep it open. I also don't think that coastal changes are the biggest area to gain an advantage and turn this thing around. As a chesapeake bay angler I can't tell you how disheartening it is to see a parking lot of boats decimating the striper population before they have a chance to swim oceanward. We do more as rec anglers to hurt the fishery than the netters do...there just isn't any data to show that other than the decline...IMHO. Our techniques for live baiting are becoming just as efficient and we need to consider catch changes in the bay.
