Cool pics, that one of the bus'd in kids says it all. I spoke to one of the kids sitting next to me, and she was highly cluess as to the process, the maps, why we were there, citing "Her brothers and uncles fish, and never catch anything, so there must not be any fish left in the ocean." I politely told her, its probably because they do not know how to fish. She agreed.



But had a fishing group bus'd teens in, and slapped black shirts with #2 on them, I am sure the teens would have been fine with that too. Someone remarked that their presence at this meeting was disingenuos to the BRTF. The next speaker to support proposal 3, ditched his speech, as if he was defending them, stating it their first public process, and that it is not disingenuos, etc. I felt, if they were there for a public process, they should not have been force fed a viewpoint, nor wore blue, or black shirts, but made up their own minds based on those speaking, and the maps.

But then again, a majority of them were bored as hell, walking around, either playing social games with eachother (remember when you were a teen and around the opposite sex) or playing on their iphones/pods.

Without the bus'd in kids, we outnumbered the Anti-Fishing side 10-1.

Thanks again for turning out, it was a special thing to be a part of last night seeing fishing groups come together.

Grego I am sure she will want to know who the compliment is coming from......the one on the far right


There were so many speaking on our half that knocked it out of the park. I about died with the slide presentation that surveyed the pier fishermen, backing #3. claiming smaller and less fish......it should have read "all my fish are now only 6 inches so I have to take 30 bass home"

It was so ridiculous to survey fishermen not required to even purchase a license or have a clue as to what size and bag limits are.

The best was when they started talking about how much revenue California receives from fishermen. It's something like 80 million....not including fishing licenses...

I would hope that makes more of an impact than some bused-in kid making general statements about our ocean.

Hahaha that presentation was rather ignorant. to be honest 90% of the poachers are pier fisherman. The reason why thier is no fish or to small of fish in thier pier locations is becuase of them overtaking. they have very little knowlege of the reproduction size range, DFG Size regulations. But there Survey didnt answer that. When the gal spoke about how they have full time jobs and couldnt make it, or there was a language barrier, i just about starting laughing.

Its easy for pier fisherman to vote for map 3, the acual closures cant contain piers within them. Those anglers dont lose access. many could possibly be illegal, dont pay for fishing liscense, and i know for sure dont follow regulations. I frequent the Balboa, and Newport Beach Piers during the evening. I know what i seen. alot of poachers, and No DFG enforcement, hell the poachers dont even try to hide it half the time.
