This seems to have settled down a bit now so not going to say much other than reiterate what I say almost every year...taking shots, veiled or otherwise, at volunteers will not be tolerated here. Voice your opinion and leave it at that...do not need to see the same opinion over and over again. I also have some suggestions for everyone to make this work. How about asking a question if you don't really know the subject matter. There is more than one member here that can help educate others as to what is happening and I am sure there will be more information on this front in the coming days and weeks. Choose to support whatever is being proposed, or don't, the choice is always yours, but don't use this space to rip someone else's efforts or proposals put forth from groups that are putting in the time to represent the very loosely tethered "Recreational Fishery." Lastly, consider volunteering your time or put up some of your hard earned cash to support those who are already volunteering. There is lots of bitching here and on social media about the ENGO's, but that is exactly what they do everyday...raise money for one purpose, to lobby politicians to see it "their" way.
Rant over...now I need to do my part and send off my letter.
