MLPA Maps - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

LipYanker · 09-10-2009, 09:01 PM

I couldnt believe the old laguna lady that said her husband is a kayak fisherman and he will just paddle through the MPA so go ahead and close laguna.

I bet with as old as that woman was, that her husband wont be paddling 3 miles offshore to fish.

And the kid that said he doesnt want the ocean to run out of fish? Where do these people come from? Today really opened my eyes to what a difference a few intelligent comments can make. I'll do my best to be at the next meeting as well.

We did have attendance of those from the caravan but just not enough. Mikeylikesit and I spearheaded the caravan events last weekend and had Dean (Bank Robber in LA) and Bobby in OC lead their local caravan. Paul Romanowski helped as well. We were all there at the mtg. today. Paul spoke and I spoke. Mikey ceded his time to me. Yes, the personal boaters just don't seem to be so concerned and attendance was poor. It is very frustrating to see such a lack of committment when we have such large numbers of members on the boards. I was very proud of the kayakers showing in numbers to represent! I know many are burnt out with this whole process but we need to stick it out.

Thanks for all who participate in this process!

All that you read is true, we need more presence...getting down to crunch time.

Baytubers showed up in force, and it has gotten to the point that they know us by name. I was even asked where Clay was...

Now why is that?

Is it because they are used to seeing the regular faces so much, that even Tyler got complimented on his speech, or that Mr. Ken Wiseman even said that he recognized alot of the names?

We need presence, BOTTOM LINE.

We all have plenty of time to prepare for the next meeting. Or would you rather be punked by some blue shirted environmentalist who speaks passable English at best, while he rants that the "MLPA process works"?

Or the blue clad smiley faced female that wants to preserve the 'surf grass'? Ask Kiyo on that one...

Our reps have worked their arses off for us, with no pay.

Think about that. Now think about it some more...

This is not some fly by night plan...it gets reviewed in 5 years...with no guarantees...
