Walking away from this for my health. This website has been nothing but a source of negativity and recycled crap for too long. Nothing changes and nothing meaningful comes from it. I take ownership for contributing in that fact. Many of the good members have walked away, or heavily reduced their participation long ago. Just took me longer than them.
walking away from the sfac thing as well. The process for what it is meant to do is needed and although heavily weighted on the industry side (maybe not in bodies but in attitude and leverage) it has it's purpose and I have nothing but respect for those who put all the time in. Good Luck!
I have thought long and hard about what value participating brings me vrs the stress,negativity and depression that comes from it. Clearly I do not have the head for it, and have nothing to offer that will contribute to moving forward and actually create long term change. I was going to attend my area meeting one last time. As I am unable to find any effort on here ,social media or anywhere else to engage the area anglers and have them attend I see little point in my going as I am walking away anyway. If I have missed any effort made to engage I apologize,but I can not find any myself.
In regards to Halibut, the process is clearly stuck. I am no longer willing to continue in repeating the same year over and over again with no expectation of actually doing anything to change the situation. ( largest source of negativity and frustration ) . I suspect that wen they can no longer create a season that will not realize large losses in revenue, we will then see a greater effort to work toward accompanying some change to the current BS that has destroyed recreational halibut fishing. Yes I know that will have to come,for the most part, from outside the SFAB process.
Thanks to all who are trying !
