I got an E-Mail today asking what all this was about.  It would be a TON to type out all this so I am going to supply some links for your reading pleasure.

First this is an article that appeared in a Washington paper and is the most complete of the ones I have seen (Not because I am in it) but I thought this guy did a good job on the subject.

Also there is an entire forum about  what is going on in the fishery with the current administration.

It is not just us here in NC.  The problems we are seeing is from Maine to Washington State.  We as fishermen are under attack from the left wing wacko’s and from the folks that are running NOAA and NMF.

4000 plus anglers converged on Washington to voice our displeasure.  This was the first time both the commercial and rec fishing groups came together to work for the common good.

Thank You to all that came out in Support.

Captain Dave

The commercial and recreational fishing industry will gather in Washington DC on February 24, 2010, for the SAVE OUR JOBS – Fix Magnuson NOW rally.

This is the first time commercial and recreational fishermen and fish related businesses have joined ranks on a national issue. The goal is to improve the direction of fish management by the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Fisheries Management Councils.

Fishermen from all coastal states and the Great Lakes are invited to gather at the reserved space near the steps of the Capitol by 11:00 AM on February 24th.

I Hope to see YOU there!
