I was at the weakfish hearing in September where the RFA lost supporters due to their unpopular position on weakfish management. As you know they supported a commercial bycatch and continued recreational fishing in the spawning grounds.

Perhaps they did not speak for YOU, but no group can possibly represent everyone, and only a fool would think otherwise. When you find a group that you agree with 100% of the time on 100% of the issues you let me know.
As I said before, thank you for re-posting this information.

CaptainTB, The days of only a few voices being heard during fish management hearings are over! Get used to it!

Something I have been pushing for since the 90's. I have been a vocal voice for more people coming to meetings and speaking their minds for over 15 years, hopefully more people will start getting involved. To tell me to "get used to it" implies I would want otherwise, and you could not be more incorrect in that assumption if you tried. If you go back and look at over a decade and a half of public record you would know I have been hoping to "get used to it" for quite some time.
