DFG News Release - MLPA News - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

tylerdurden · 07-11-2008, 07:36 AM

I thought the turn out was pretty good last night at Old town for the kayak anglers.

I don't think there was anything new to learn there. All the info that was there has been posted on this board or others. I think we all made a point of filling out the comment sheet at the last station. Don't know if they actually read them.

Thanks to everyone who came by. Those comment sheets will be read, as will the sign-in sheet. The MLPA Initiative staff are very aware of kayak anglers; as a group, we've turned out impressive numbers. Getting our own stakeholder spot is no sure thing - we've upped our odds dramatically.

Please keep the stakeholder support letters coming: http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ead.php?t=3535

I agree there was a good turnout, and I heard plenty of angry anglers asking questions.

i saw the map of existing state marine protected areas and couldnt believe it. i had no idea that there were that many already protected areas!!!!

I was there early; filled out the comment sheet. I tried to slip in the phrase "non-motorized fishing parks" as much as I could. Protect the environment while granting the public access to what are ultimately THEIR fisheries (if they are willing to paddle a bit

). I'm hoping it will catch on, but I just renewed my Mex insurance in any event.
