I ask for a reason. Give me a second here to explain the question…..
When my non boating/fishing friends say on a Monday…. “What an awesome weekend, how was fishing/boating?” Meanwhile it was a cloudless sky but blew 30 knots East. They just don’t get it.
So……the guys making the regs and reading all these sites and reading “on the meat” “Limited out” “slaughter” “epic” and whatever other nonsense that’s makes us fisherman look like turds in their eyes. That affect decision making process on regs?

Effect or affect their decisions if they read here who knows?

... The one thing I can say without a doubt, what you submit in public comments is public record and part of the reading notes for the councils before their meetings.
Lots more transparency these days because now they cover these comments and even present them in their slide presentations at these meetings. Kind of like reviews on google and all in the light of day which is very different then it used to be and much harder for them to ignore them and pass the red face test in a public meeting.
Imagine if they had a reviews page on google? Dreaming now but that's how it should be...
