WCW Poll - next season start - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PAL: as for carnage shots being ammunition, I not convinced that
this or any other board is going to make any difference now.
There are shots all over the internet showing fish catches. If the
MLPA wants to find pictures of dead fish, they'll find them.

Likewise, the united anglers approach should be to show that
populations are doing well and improving. There are plenty of
pictures of large schools of fish. The Salmon problem up north
isn't helping the cause, though it's problem is from another source.

The best defense is to show the positive aspects fishing has on the
fisheries. Contests like WCW contribute X number of dollars each
year to Hubbs. How many anglers donate time to those causes and
to Hubbs and other agencies voluntarily?

I find it interesting that the state has many campaigns like "Take a
kid fishing", yet they seem to work tirelessly to take that away or
impose restrictions.

If they have their way, some day the Fish Pen April Fool's joke
in Sport Fishing magazine may become the only way to fish here...
