Please tell me how much you donated so that when you decide to stop "pissing your money away" I can write a check out of my own pocket to pick up the slack.


You're telling me the RFA doesn't produce? They're completely not "just glad we have a season", they want the most quota/poundage for us RECREATIONAL anglers to have. The allowable poundage went UP this year and went UP last year too thanks to RFA/SSFFF. As you can tell from this thread, people who support the RFA are divided among options. Dmac likes one option, myself Adam and others like another option, and Tony,Howard and others like yet another choice. They all have valid reasons for their opinions and certainly should voice them along with their reasons. Why on earth should the RFA come up with an "official position" that represents what only a fraction of their members think? No matter what option they support only a fraction of their membership agrees with it. If you like a particular option so strongly, go to the meeting and speak. That's called "Democracy" where the committee listens to people comment and picks an option based on that. The committee didn't make some backroom deal, they listened to who showed up and made their choice based on that. That's what democracy is all about.
