National Fishing Restrictions Coming From DC

[kurtfish]

Did anyone else see the Fox News mention yesterday of the national fishing regulations currently being drawn-up by the Obama Administration? I spoke to a Shamanio rep at the Long Beach MLPA meeting and he siad the industry has not been able to provide impute in the fishing regualtion process that was underway in DC. This rep told me that the closures and new regulations proposed by the Feds go way beyond the scope of the MLPA and that no public impute has been part of the DC process.

This site was a great director of angler involvement in the MLPA process along with Bloodydecks and the bust tours to the LAX and Long Beach meetings. We may need to rally the troops again to fight Washington's new regulations.

If anyone has access to a draft of these new federal regualtions it would be great to share and potentially forge a campaign to try to protect our rights. Windy days lend time to contemplate our uncertain future.
