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.

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

Strictly as an angler, I am not sure at all what you are trying to say here to fishermen. Its apparantly CLEAR what you are saying to "other" fishery support groups. I can NOT understand the thinking that suggests that ONLY one group has my best interests at stake whether its weakfish or any of the multitude of species being regulated and discussed. Therefore its very hard to accept your posts with any validity, it reads as just a ploy to exploit your groups view vs another and at the end of the day does nothing for me "the fishermen"
