I wonder what's going to happen in Delaware on June 24th? No need for a public meeting now, Option 1 is in. I'll call and see if I can get an answer. Dennis[/QUOTE]

I spoke to Stewart Michels(DNREC), the meeting is still going to be held. He also said, if one can't attend, a letter will Suffice as if one stood up and voiced their opinion. They could invoke Option 2, the aggregate one which is worse. We also talked about photos of BLT's, there's a positive n negative side to those photos as we know. The positive side is showing that they are abundant and don't need to be regulated. Mother nature, feeding habits do protect them from us, rec guys. I've been on more than one tile trip where Not one was caught. The negative side, if one wants to believe this, every boat that fish's for them will always have a Bail job, yea right, so then, they need to be protected. He also said he got a call the other day from a commercial guy who witness the unloading of a few thousands pounds of BLT's at a Jersey port. This whole scenario reminds one when I was in Catholic grammar school in Bklyn where one kid in my class didn't score a 100% on a spelling test so the whole class got punished and we all had to stay after school and study. True story. I couldn't comprehend that then, and I can't comprehend what's happening now. We, the rec anglers are taking the blame alone with the long liners. It's So Unfair.... Dennis
