Lifeguard Report about "no blood" or scent near beach..... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I am certainly not "The sky is falling" kind of a guy but I think this is a serious threat to this community. Having seen what went on during the MLPA process I can say with certainty a that there are a lot more people with a lot more money than this community has that would shut us all down. Logic and science be dammed. It simply doesn't matter. All they need is some lame excuse that the media will get behind.

Why do they feel the need to threaten kayak fishermen with closure of the launch, when they won't even enforce the no swimming signs at the launch. At least 1/2 the times I land there are paddle boarders playing trying to learn how to do it, right at the launch and landing zone. Also often there are tourist watching their friend in rentals while standing in knee or waist deep water. They are a hazard to landing and aren't even paying attention as you come in with limited dirrectional control in the surf. It seems the lifeguards need to station one at the landing to keep the people not launching or landing a water craft out of the water and direct them to the appropriate area. Most of all is why did the city of San Diego need to spend the millions they did building a newer lifeguard station at "the childrens pool" when they don't let people use the beach. Is it important to have them there in case one of the Fricken Tourist falls in the water while trying to get a closer look at the seals.
