The statement is not entirely true.

As a previous board member of United Pier and Shore Anglers of California (UPSAC) and Southern California representative; I have spent many hours in meetings fighting the MLPA process, closer of Manhattan Pier due to shark incident, hoop net regulation meeting, fishing related meetings, etc. working on behalf of my fellow anglers.

Recently a day before the Fred Hall Show, it was a day of meeting with NOAA at the Aquarium of Pacific. CCA representatives were there too.

They were sitting close to the door. I am sorry not to remember their names.

My friend and president of UPSAC, Ken Jones (elbow on yellow pad) drove from Fresno to attend the meeting of behalf of California pier fishermen.

I am member of CCA, an old timer with “stupid” phone.
I DO plan to attend the Redondo Beach even, but waiting to make sure I can make the June 10th event.
Too far away, and life can sometimes get in the way.

Hope this event excludes any non-man powered vessels.
