Someone Upstairs Likes Us Fishermen A Lot But Has A Sick Sense Of Humor

A. The Weather, Imagine If The Rally Was The 25th
B. A/h Bus 2 Broke Down And Our Genius Bus Driver On Bus 1 Actually Thought And Started To Try And Make Room For The Sold Out Bus 2 Passengers To Ride On Our Bus, Not Sure If He Noticed That There Were Only 2 Open Seats (believe me this post doesn't mean we didnt want to help out but....)

What Was Hell Was He Thinking, How The Hell Were We Going To Fit 50 More People On Our Bus ?? I'm Not A NASA Engineer But Really

Now That Was The Sick Sense Of Humor Part

The Part That Someone Upstairs Likes Us Is,
As We Were Going To Start To Attempt This Modern Marvel Circus Act, Two Academy Buses Passed Us And Pulled Over. And Holy Sh*t One Was Completely Empty

The Sigh Of Relief Was That Of When An Airplane Lands.....
I Hope Academy Bus Doesn't Charge By Mile Or Hour As They Took Every Short Cut Exit Ramp To A New Traffic Jam (lol)

But We Are All Home , Safe, And Truly Thankful For The Transportation Coordinators From Our Group.


As Far As The Rally ( Which Was My First Rally Attended) Based On Numbers And Crowd Enthusiasm I Think It Was A Real Success And I Feel Proud That I Was A Part Of This Day ( 10 Years From Now When My Son And I Are Fishing I Cant Tell Him All About What I Was A Part Of On 2/24/10)
It Was Very Informative And Educational To Hear Legislation, Stories And Facts On How Commercial, Recreational And The Weekend Fisherman Are All Affected By These Issues ( How Ridiculous Is The Car Tire Requirement In Florida)

Great to see so many NJFishing friends on the buses and @ the rally. Amazed that fishermen came from Alaska, California (third year with no Salmon keeping), SC, Fla, NC, Mass, Montauk, etc..

Special props and thanks to SHIRTGUY Jeff who provided everyone on the AH buses with fishing towels that read " I Fish ! I Vote ! I Marched ". Nice touch, and the towels also had shout-outs to NJFishing, Capt Ron's Fishermen, and SSFFF. Thanks Jeff - a memorable day will now be looked back at fondly when I use your towel.
