MLPA Carlsbad Aug. 3rd meeting--A suggested speaking point - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Kayak Rookie · 08-03-2009, 09:54 PM

Can Tyler's video be posted on the website?

What is the next step in this venture? Are there more letters to be written? Calls to make?

There was a comment in reference to percentages of areas that will be effected. It seems to be misleading because the 10-20 percent of all kelp
that will be protected is directly off of La Jolla, but looking the percentage it doesn't seem bad to some one who is not aware of the areas!

I would hope that the CA Fish and Game would still like the opportunity to enforce the rules that they enforce in the local area! I have just started fishing recently and everyone that I have had the opportunity to speak with seems to enjoy what we do and are advocates in protecting the areas in which we fish.

There was some discussion on "lobsters" but I could not make out the gobblygook. I not sure if this will effect lobstering?

Fish now for who knows what the MLPA will do tomorrow!

For those that may need a drink after that event may I suggest a Big Eye IPA!

Cheers!

thank you to all who were able to attend the comments session. i was there in the am- but didn't see anyone i recognized from photos posted here or that i have met in the past.

as a north county san diego resident, i feel i'll get totally screwed either way. all maps that save la jolla close my grounds. all maps that restrict my area close la jolla. i want to be able to save both! what can be done to this regard?

i am very sad that i am joining the game so late- but i'll do what i can from here.

i've thought that it would be great press for our cause if we could get some national media to the process (think glenn beck, drudgereport.com, etc.) to get some pressure on the decision makers, but i've so little exposure as to how the preocess has gone down i don't feel like a worthy representative to present the case. if someone wants to try to get this going together, i'll be more than happy to team with them and try to make that happen.

if we can expose this nationally and ask for fellow anglers to boycot CA as a destination for angling and tourism we can leverage a greater body of liek minded individuals who will vote with their dollars.

i'm best reached by email but don't know if i feel comfortable puting that out just yet. if you're on here- you can get it.

tight lines
