MLPA ROLL CALL: Saddle up! Dec 15, Final Meeting. Be there! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PAL · 12-06-2010, 08:10 PM

It's encouraging to see some action in this thread. Thanks for those who've sent letters or stepped up big by asking friends and family to do so too. The letter response is very good so far. Please pile on!

We need more people at the meeting. I'm asking you to dig deep, and find a way to get there even if you can't stay all day. We need more people to cede time. For those new to this deal, you normally get one minute to say what you have to say. If several other people (often 10) donate their time, you get more.

If you can make the trip and sacrifice your time, you'll be very pleased with its destination. Very. Contact me directly if you need more info. I'm not going to post it in the open.

I have room for two in my truck on the 15th. The downside is you'll be stuck up there all day, through the bitter end. On the other hand, there's bound to be drowning of sorrows / celebration of points scored with a couple of solid old-school kayak anglers from up north.

^During a Blue Ribbon Task Force / Stakeholder phase there was one evening meeting, and it was heavily attended by the fishing public, most of whom work for a living. That meeting went to 1 am! I remember watching as RSG reps from the enviro side snuck away or ducked out early. That one I enjoyed to the very end. The MLPA staff didn't schedule another for obvious reasons.

The Fish and Game Commission NEVER holds meetings outside business hours.

Paul, I haven't had any response to my offer for car pooling so if you don't mind I'll ride with you.

Some spearos with SUVs will be at the San Diego car pool lot.

I-5 and Gilman Dr Park & Ride (8002 Gilman Drive, San Diego, CA) at 5AM.

We want to fill up the vehicles with fishermen/spearos to go to the meeting. Let's finish strong guys.

P.S. King Harbor is the location for car pool for LA. So I was told. Details to come.

I already responded on Baytubers. I will be attending.
