A power grab...?...well I must say I'm not happy with granting Commissioner Bonnam total emergency power...I wish there was some public oversite...!
We'll see...hopefully Bonnam will act in a responsible way and just use laser focus to shut down only the areas that could pose logistic problems...but...as I said...We'll see...only time will tell.
If you are truly concerned about any shutdowns, a letter to the DFG Commission expressing your feelings might be in order...(it certainly will do more that just posting your opinion on a kayak fishing board)...let me remind you, that regardless of the State constitutionality that some may post about...we only have a right to fish recreationally and not for sustenance fishing and I've been reminded of that fact a few times in my many years of DFG Commission meeting's as well as the many DFW Marine Resource meetings.
