You and I have never met yet I may be standing next to you in D.C. I will not be carrying a banner promoting my business as that is not the purpose of the rally.

You will not see me on one of the buses because I will most likely be travelling with either sales reps from Penn, Abu Garcia and Shakespeare. Or I may join the group that makes Tsunami rods. All these guys are going but they are not bragging about it on NJFishing.com as it is not their goal to try and make a profit from this all too important march.

Not answering for (Jakesdad) but having read your post I must humbly disagree with the philosophy of the Industry not stating who they are and that they ARE going. Its NOT bragging, its important for all involved to be noticed and counted. As a recreational fisherman who spends a considerable amount of $$$ each year on Tackle, Charters and PBs its very important to me to know who is supporting the march. Just as I want to know which politicians are supporting the Flexibility in MSA Bill as it WILL affect my vote, the same can be said for the Industry support. If it is allowed under the permit to march on the 24th I would love to see BANNERS flying from the Industry reps you mentioned as it would show the politicians that major Industry in fishing is deeply concerned and involved as well as the impact on the economics of fishing restriction based on poor data.

HR , standing and being counted is not bragging . If putting your name on this thread and other sites will get people to think that they should be there too or at least support the cause then how is that bragging ? Harlee Rod's will be there we should go to . HR ,by answering this thread we know that there is going to be more Industry Support with us and possibly put even more of us down there in DC . I feel that we all should fly our Colors (Weather Permitting) so they can see the crosssection of people that this effects .

No. We would prefer people did NOT bring alcohol.

Too all the fisherman going to D.C. great job. Can not make the trip on Monday. Made my contribution to SSFFF, to offset any costs or to pay for some seats, wish I could be there to help in the cause.
