Out of everything that was discussed last night, the clear message was the difference in how much more unity the commercial sector has when trying to sustain the fishery WE all need.
because its their livelyhood, the REACH INTO THEIR POCKETS IMMEDIATLY hire a lawyer and FIGHT for what they feel they should be entitled to.
That us recreational fisherman DONT, yet could be doing it at a MUCH bigger level.
Capt Jimmy Elliot explained how QUICKLY they raise 30 Grand to hire a lawyer.
Thirty boats writing out a check for a grand a piece,allowing their voice to be heard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one expects us to do that,
But we do have a voice in Washington in the RFA, they are willing to fight for us while we SLEEP.
All they need is MEMBERS to allow their voice (OUR VOICE) to be heard LOUDER.
All this CONSTANT fight to save our fisheries for us to enjoy costs MONEY.

with the amount of us that enjoy the Salt, whether for one day a year of MANY days it comes down to one thing.
Most guys dont have the time,, or energy to help so Join the RFA and allow those that CAN carry the ball the STABILITY to do so for YOU.

MANY of us already belong to other groups here in NJ that we feel fight for us, and they also need members to fight for us on LOCAL levels.
But the RFA is the ONLY one fighting for the WHOLE fisheries in Washington where it is needed the most, because thats where the decisions being made against us happen.

I saw ALOT more people came forward the last few days who want to know how to HELP.
Start be throwing the couple bucks to fund the orginazations trying to use REAL science to show where our fisheries are REALLY at.
Change WONT be overnight, but it iS happening, the Announcement that the NMFS data is FATALLY FLAWED is HUGE.
Without the guys that have been fighting hard, this never would have happened.
WE need to back one solid voice YOUR VOICE

IM sure evryone does not agree with everything the RFA does,( I know I havent) but we MUST look at the bigger picture, we can all just bitch on message boards around the country or we can back those that are REALLY fighting for US
