FLYBOY (1/1/2009)Cobe Killer or Rich or whoever is heading to the meeting,

Unfortunately I can not attend the meeting (I'm in Iraq) but are ya'll getting a petition together or a letter or anything? Basically is there anything that those of us who can't attend(and it better be a damn good reason why you can't attend) do to help? EVERYONE needs to show up to this meeting, we showed up in force in Panama City and at least got our concerned heard if you fish at all you should be there!!! No Gigging...does this include spearfishing? WTF, have they lost their minds....:banghead:banghead:banghead Please post if anyone is getting apetition together.

can you borrow the gun ship for a weekend? I'm sure the Airforce wouldn't mind. It's for a worthy cause. :usaflag

Redfish (1/1/2009)This Is My Opinion, If The State of Florida only Cares about the commercial fisherman, than us recreational fisherman need to stop buying license,Let the commercial fisherman Pay for the Ramp fees and The upkeep on Ramps and everything else, I am Not Blaming the commercial fisherman,but the State of Florida only seem to care about them, They need to look at HOW MUCH MONEY THEY WILL LOSE IF WE STOP BUYING LICENSE,, Plus All The Money They Will lose fromOut of state License, If This Keeps Up I will buyA out of State Ala License and only Fish There The HELL WITH FLORIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:nonono

If they ban flounder gigging for recreationals, they will ban us commercial from doing it too. We don't all run a shrimp boat.

They've done everything they can to regulate commercial fishing out of existence. Have you ever tried to catch shrimp with a TED and a BRD on your net? It's damn near impossible. Mark my words, there will be a moratorium on RS endorsements in the near future.

This is absolutley ridculous......Looks like a "vacation" to Panama City is coming up...and lets not forget this is the same idiot who questions John Mccain's character..This guy must of been a flounder or a snapper in previous life..

Quote:

lbhuntley (1/1/2009)Did anyoneread the "Flounder Review & Discussion Presentation"? FWC staff do not recommend increasing allowable bycatch for flounder, and they recommend continued evaluation of the gigging issue. The snapperquestion is the same as last year: either conform to federal rules or have the season shortened in federal waters. Last season, political pressure on FWC resulted in a loss of 56 fishing days in federal waters. FL and TX alsoaffected fishing in AL, MS, and LA, all with 3 mile state waters. If you again favora shorter seasonin federal waters (1 June - 5 Aug), give 'em hell.

Hmm first off my dad happens to be one of those "FWC staff". He may not be directly involed in this flounder issue nor are many other FWC workers.Infact this is the first he has heard about this issue. Second most of the FWC staff do like to fish/hunt its one reason they do what they do. Furthermore I personally know a few of them who love to go gigging. Third knowing a little bit about these kinds things and how the FWC worksI garentee this came about from some head guy who has his own agenda. And if I had to guess he is probably connected to the shrimping industry.

Pardon my political incorrectness. Lest I incur the wrath of anyone even remotely connected with the FWC, permit me to rephrase my last..............
