I hope I'm not stealing your thunder but you kayakers rock tonight. You did outstanding. Beyond highlighting the needs of kayak fishermen in general, you all did great with the focus on La Jolla, it's unique launching spot for kayaks, and the importance of keeping this area open for kayak fishing. All of this came through loud and clear.

From a San Diegan and a spearo--thank you.

P.S. You humbled us. I think there were more of you guys tonight--for the first time and I hope that will continue.

Just got back, about 30 of us showed up, way to go guys...

We need to stress LJ, and I think we did a good job at it and need to keep applying the pressure...

On a couple occasions, whole groups went up and took turns speaking pro MLPA, all the while saying things like, "We love fishing, and love fishermen, but we want to see implementation so our grandkids will one day be able to fish." This came from a whole clan from Malibu.

Another Foundation, advocating closures, spoke also with at least 7-8 of them, but what was funny, was each time a certain pro MLPA group would speak, get applause from a select few, they would all leave, not hearing the other sides' view point and what is at stake...

This is what we are up against. They seem to not want to hear our views, but sure try to do a good job of trying to sound empathetic to our plight by saying they like to fish, but are quite quick to recommend the closures...guess they thought their strategy would fool somebody when it was clear that their true motives were transparent.

To all that went, spoke, and were heard, kayakers, spearos, fishermen and women,

. Now is the time to increase our numbers...more voices, more viewpoints, let them know what is truly at stake.

As Tyler stated, "If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem."
