If anglers hadn't been turning out in force since Oxnard, more RSG reps would have voted for larger or more closures in key areas, putting us in a minority position at best.
I'm still trying to sort things out, but there's no question your efforts changed the outcome. One young man in particular came up time and again. Great work speaking up for yourself Clay!
Due to your public comment, most of the proposals that went forward are livable, but there will be at least one, quite likely two that would devastate our launch sites. This thing is far from over. And those who've been paying attention have seen how shifts in science guidelines and policy directives have fundamentally changed the rules, often at the last minute. We probably haven't seen the last of these sudden shifts, so the angling community must remain on guard.
