Gerry will copy, paste and submit tomorrow. Thanks for your effort as well as Jim's, Greg's and Pat's.

The recreational angler hasn't been given a bone in a very long time. Stock declines, our quotas and possession limits decline. Stocks which very rarely are successfully rebuild, possession limits decline. It's been a lose lose proposition for a very very long time. The only way this changes is a state backed law suit against NMFS or voting out our representatives who don't support proper fisheries management and the recreational fishing community. This is the same shit that happened with Greenwood Lake. We spend a crap load of money to stimulate the economy, that might be our biggest negotiating tool. Small businesses would be crushed if not for our spend and it falls on deaf ears in Washington and at the state and local levels. These small businesses are the fabric of shore communities and we / they get shit on every year.
