This is all utter nonsense...and they know it. That is the reason they had their tables set the way they were, to garner 'respect' and to let everyone know that they were in control. The rules were their's all along, they just had to play it out for appearance sake.

All you anti-fishers, you are seriously clueless, and when the SD/OC/LA economy starts taking a hit, and the DFG cuts back even more, and the price per pound for fish and lobster rise, we will make it a point to thank you with a :the_finger: salute, Bloody Decks style.

More updates???????

We will have to definitely have a Kayak Fishing/Spearfishing Tournament BBQ at Laguna...soon. And make sure you buy everything you need for the BBQ beforehand...you cannot shop in Laguna for anything.

Here we come Laguna...to take your fish, fill your trash cans, and not spend a stinkin' dime in your city...and make sure there's TP in the public bathrooms for us...:the_finger:

We got screwed over bad in some areas. Others are not too bad. They just went in and totally messed up the maps.

They can't make decisions when they are not prepared to do it. It looks like no IPA will be made today.

In each region the BRTF has a couple different options for closures. They will decide between those choices, and make an IPA.

The decision will be made at a 1 day BRTF meeting in the LA area around November 10th.

Paul Lebowitz They are talking about a day long meeting in Los Angeles in November.

:shot::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I never thought we'd get Laguna, that's where "Friends of the Seals," are, they are all tree-huggers at their best.

They are the cupcake city. Thier police department drives hybird cars and ATVs. Its really easy to make them pay for thier elitism, dont give them any of your buisness. not 1 penny.

2 laguna lady who came into the laguna beach mettign with the 2 dead gardibaldi is perfect example. DFG didnt wirt her a citation. why is she the exception?

After living in Dana Point for over 10 years, growing up there. and beign a frequent customer in thier city. no more for me.

Hell Tman, ill bring the TP for everyone! I'm down to get soemthign started.

Paul Lebowitz This next one day meeting is tentatively for Nov 10 in the LAX area, 9:30 to 5:00 pm.

Well at least it's not when MOST of us are working. Goddamn these people.

OMFG - they just put this thing on pause. We'll be back on Nov 10 somewhere in the LAX area. It may be time to rally the troops again. this is really a round 4 with BRTF alternatives.

Signing off now to head home. Guys, we need to crank it back up.

So is anything written in stone?? Or is it all still up in the air????

Nothing is in stone.
Even More Options are on the table.

For La Jolla
Map 2 style -Delmar and Sunset Cliffs

-Swamis and Sunset Cliffs

-SMCA At Scripps to Allow hook and line coastal pelagic (and Maybe Pelagic)
South La Jolla to Crystal pier.

Wow.

I watched the last hour with perfect feed. :eek:.

We get to go to another meeting and state our cases :luxhello:.

I am so sick of this entire thing.

Thank you to Paul and all the RSG members for sitting through this for our sake.

Its because of the Stand we Made Last Night.

and we are going to have to do it again, this time for all the marbles.
---------------
I need a rest.

Billy: you have the impression LJ will be Map 2 style? I was thinking it looked more like Map 3. Did I miss something?

FYI, for those who don't know- Coastal Pelagic = anchovies, sardines, mackerel, smelt, squid.

It could be map 2 style, or 3, or some weird hybrid. They gave all the options.

Good news, no plan closes both South LJ and North PL.

-edit
When they archive the video in a day or so we can watch it again and see exactly what all the San Diego options were. It will be near the end.

If I heard them right, did one option say that a Del Mar SMR would replace the South LJ SMR? I'll have to watch the archive video.

I was online following this thing all day. My take after watching the procedings is that while we don't yet know what is going to be the final outcome, it appears that we may have dodged the worst possible scenarios. Paul was there so I am sure he will have a better perspective.

With apologies to our brothers and sisters up north, my main concerns lie with what happens in San Diego. It looks like the three options being considered for this part of the world will all leave us with some to most of our favorite fishing grounds intact. We can hope that they just adopt option 2. From what I heard, there is at least one vote to do that. The other members of the BRTF were too hard to read so the outcome is still very much in doubt.

I found it interesting that the BRTF basically told the DFG rep that they really did not care if the final MLPA maps were enforceable. Seems pretty arrogant to me.

Tyler,

Last night old Ken saved me as The Last Speaker. (I lost a bet with Zenspearo, it was going to be either one of us as punishment)

In my final public comments I asked for what we discussed, in a very pointed and respectful way.
-The stuff we need to preserve our sport -and for the spearos.

I was approached after the close of the meeting and asked to repeat it to one of our rsg friendlies for a discussion that apparently took place this morning, or late last night.
It certainly showed up at todays meeting.
