Wrong. The RFA NJ Chapter did not take a position on the 2012 regulations. There was even an entire thread about the 2012 regs on this very site where that was pointed out numerous times and even discussed. Please, let's stick to the FACTS.

The other frustration I think the folks are having is the RFA tells you if it was not for us, things would be worse. When the government closed sea bass on October 4, 2009, what was worse than that?
|
Gotcha, so when something bad happens that automatically negates any good that has been done right? So sick of you people with the "What have you done for me lately" attitude as if nothing is being fought or done just because something does not go the way YOU think it should.
Get a clue.

And don't tell the people well, it got better. I am talking about that day. October 4, 2009. We had a sudden closure of sea bass and fluke had been closed for some time.

Right, so the feds closed a fishery suddenly, so that is the RFA's fault. Gimme a break. What exactly did you do about it? I know for a fact you did not do a ****ing thing. The simple fact is that some things can be dealt with proactively but when the feds act unilaterally then those issues have to dealt with re-actively(is that even a word?)
, it is called life, welcome to it. No one, no organization nor group of people has control over an emergency closure, that is why it is called an emergency. N one but the feds have access to the landings data as it is collected, so no one but they can see what is coming or what the data says is coming. My 15 year old understands this, perhaps I should have him come on here and explain it to you. That is one of the dumbest comments I have ever read, and that is really saying something.

2013 seems like another reduction for fluke. Maybe the RFA could tell the people what the action plan is to fight this. How will the RFA use the people's funds to combat the impending 2013 fluke situation? People send you checks and go on fishing trips that donate to RFA. I think you owe the people an explination on how you will combat this impending situation. And who knows, maybe it can be a win. Maybe a loss. But at least tell the people where their money is going to combat this and other reduced fishery seasons. You owe it to the people who donate to the RFA.

So pick up the phone and ask the questions and you will get an answer. You talk as if there is some big secret but that is a lie and you know it. Both the chapters and National are only a phone call or e-mail away, try it before you come onto a website and spout off on topics of which you obviously have little knowledge.
By the way, I neither work for nor get paid by nor have any connection to the RFA other than I am a dues paying member.

I am not trying to fight you either, I am just trying to stop the current fight. I think all the people are asking is come clean with what their money is being used for.

Come clean?? THAT is a direct accusation that there is something being hidden or dirty. Do you even understand how the RFA works? How any 501 works? If you wish to know what is being done with the money go to the websites, read the newsletter, pick up a phone, hell request their financials, IT IS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.
This guy is a joke. Adam, I wouldn't give this guy the time of day if I were you, he obviously has an agenda and is flat out full of shit when he says in one breath he is "not trying to fight you" and in the other says the RFA needs to "come clean" with what is being done with the money.
Tool.
