Has anyone fishing La Jolla?

We certainly had a good showing of human use supporters with many swimmers, Spearfisher Larry Isakawa with a great map outlining the various access points south of Windensea related to the MLPA Map 3 closure issues, and Billy V presented some very good information to Assemblyman Fletcher on the MLPA process and provided a good update.

Nathan Fletcher is a surfer, triathelete, Gulf War Marine Vet, Family Man and I told him I hope to see his name on the ballot for Governor one day. Very impressive and passionate young man who was pursuaded by our City Attorney and Major to co-sponsor a bill to give the City Council the ability to decide the Children's Pool issue. Mr. Fletcher was convinced that letting the CC decide would curtail further legal challenges and save the City millions. As a fiscal conservative he took that one sded and self serving presentaion as factual and proceeded to get the bill passed.

We informed Mr. Fletcher that the lawsuits will not stop if the CC rules infavor of the seals against the rulings of the State Supreme Court to uphold Judge Hoffman's decision to have the City of SD restore the CP to its historic condition. Hopefully, Mr. Fletcher will take the time to reconsider his stance on this issue and work to let the court rulings give this beach back to human use. I sent a Mr. Fletcher an e-mail suggesting he take the time to meet with the Pres of the LJ COve Swim club and attorney Paul Kennerson.

I believe the issue is now in our City Council's hands we need to work with that body to get the information out and stress the importance of this human access point.

PS. Bonita are thick in LJ tough to make Macs. Yellows are still around but irons seem to be the ticket currently.
