Joe and Chris and everyone else thank you for your tireless efforts!! I will continue to wear BLACk until we switch to something else. I personally don't care if they feel "intimidated" that is their own projection of their own insecurities, and I was stoked to see them lose external C and be bummed out by that.

However the war is NOT won by any means, if anything this is the first in what I hope to be many victories for us fisherman/conservation/consumptive users! Be aware that since the huggers* and sea kitten lovers lost this one, they will be sure to turn out in force at ths San Diego meetings. They are very motivated and probably reinvigorated now to try and shut us down. With the coming SD meetings it is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE THAT EVERY SAN DIEGO KAYAK AND BOAT AND SHORE ANGLER ATTEND THESE MEETINGS OR AT LEAST ONE OF THE MEETINGS. The Huggers will be in force and definitely trying to push through things that will affect all of our fisheries. They use very smart tactics like letting the fisherman line up first and say "no on c" and then get at the back of the line and in one giant group to all say "yes I have a PHD and am a parent vote to keep C in!" gotta give them credit that was a slick well orchestrated move. Fortunately there were a great many fisherman behind them to make it clear that "c" was an unacceptable proposal and downright unfair.

We have only won the first battle and be aware that the "HUGGERS"* are activist's by nature and will come after us hard now! C'mon ladies and gentleman we can win this fight!!!!!

The next meetings will be at the end of June, so fish your asses off until then and at the end of June get in the FIGHT!!!!

*I call them Huggers as I feel they unfairly label us as non-conservationists, where in reality we are very much conservationists that fish!
