Hey I fish with a fly rod!

Just for that remark, I now support the MLPA's most restrictive plan. Now I have to go cut my nose off to spite my face!

wow.

Stan K G has got too much time on his hands.

And the things don't quite add up here...

Multiple requests for Spam Sanitation Dept intervention have been filed in.

I have a feeling we're not going to hear back from him - at least not from Stan K G account.

By the way, I have used my 12 wt fly rod and caught 150 lb makos. But, I am not a purist; I use casting gear for 99% saltwater and fly gear for 75% freshwater.

Yay.

Mod cleaned up the trash nicely.

Aah, fresh air. Thanks Zenspero for your enlightening first post in this thread. It sure got everyone's juices going. Now what should we do?

Ya know, this amusing banter seems to have gotten everyone fired back up. Well done Stan, you accomplished the exact OPPOSITE of your mission to convince us our stand was misguided.

We are a very diverse group, but bring on a common enemy and see how fast we band together.

Thanks for the kind words Bob but truly, I'm just a guy thankful for the collaboration from my kayakfishing brothers.

The thanking should be done by us in the spearing community to you guys.

I can't say it anymore eloquently than your kayakfishing RSG rep. He has put out a call and I am going to try to get our spearos going as well.

Paul Lebowitz is completely right--this kind of "stack the deck, push for more closure than IPA" has been tried before in the North Central Coast process. This lameduck appointment of a blatantly pro-closure Commissioner at the 11th hour puts our two communities (the most selective and low-impact but also most vulnerable fishing communities) at risk.

Our earlier showings were in front of RSGs and BRTFs. This is the decider, and a new audience. And they are the ones voting which map would decide our fishing/diving future. We have to smartly, persistently, and convincingly make our case heard for our needs.

We have only two more MLPA meetings and so we spearos will not let you guys down. We will meet you there again on October 20th/21st.

I hope everyone who ever fished in our SoCal ocean or spearfishing under its waves will be there.

Location: FG&C meeting in San Diego on Oct 20-21 at the Four Points by Sheraton on Aero Drive.

Kevin, you seemed to take that comment too seriously.

To the subject in question, it didn't surprise me Stan was a fly fisherman. In fact, it fit perfectly.

PAL · 09-30-2010, 09:03 PM

Bob, I never left. Just went quiet for a time.

I hear you. The same goes for those who contacted me offline. We're working on an action plan, messaging, and ways to get the word out to the kayak and spearfishing communities. It will take a few days.

In the meantime, check out this news:

Judge rules MLPA officials must release public records

By Ed Zieralski Originally published September 30, 2010 at 8:11 p.m., updated September 30, 2010 at 8:56 p.m.

A Sacramento County Superior Court judge ruled Thursday that the Blue Ribbon Task Force and the Master Plan Team for the Marine Life Protection Act South Coast Region are “state agencies” and must adhere to the California Public Records Act.

Judge Patrick Marlette ruled in favor of San Diego’s Robert C. Fletcher, saying the agencies must release all requested documents related to the South Coast Region of the Marine Life Protection Act by Oct. 10.

The Blue Ribbon Task Force and the Master Plan Team have been charged with drawing up proposals for enactment of the Marine Life Protection Act

This is a big deal. As most of you know from personal experience, the BRTF meetings were not conducted on the up and up. They may yet be held to account for their corrupt actions.

Better yet, they may yet be held accountable for their corrupt actions...
C'mon Paul, been reading too many of Stan's posts?

I will plan on being there, somehow, some way...

Just know that I am gonna catch chit for this one...

Do not worry, I am just pulling your line!

I am surprised Stan did not comment on your post as he seemed to react defensively to the others making a comment about him

A little hard to comment when he was banned.

Didn't really surprise me he had no answer to the constitution because it's plain as day. I'm glad we have guys on here that know about obscure scientific studies and economics because I can't speak about stuff like that with any kind of authority. But God has given me a healthy dose of common sense and a hunger for freedom. I am only surprised the lawsuit that's been filed had to do with corruption of the MLPA process and not the constitutionality of it. Perhaps that's a future plan, I don't know.
