Come on up - your stakeholder reps need your support.

If I can get the day off, I'm in.

Kurt, let me know we can carpool...

To be honest, I can't believe more Kayak Fishermen are not rallying, and making time to attend this meeting... This is not like a MLB season with 162 games... Think of it as game 3 World Series, not many chances left to attend a game.

Please support Paul, and MJ.

Many Speardivers are supporting Terry Maas, and Eric Kett.

Many Bders are posting thousands of threads on nonesense, and a few are attending...

Thanks,

Chris

I wish I could come along, but I cannot take the 28th off work - it's my busiest day of the month, actually. Hopefully some others can step up & get up there to represent. I will do my best to make the next one.

Workin' on trying to get a sitter. I'd love to make it. Thanks for giving us the heads up, Chris.

Dennis, I might have room in my "whip."

Let me know if you get a sitter.

Bump.

What part of the maps and closures do we fisherman not get?

Only 2 kayak fisherman showed up to the Searocket bistro MLPA mixer after work hours with free food.

Only 1 kayak fisherman went to the Dana point meeting that I know of and he is from San Diego. Kurt

. I thought that with such a strong kayak community in Dana Point and Orange County that kayak fisherman would have a good showing and us San Diego guys wouldn't have to make the trek.

How many guys will miss work and drive all the way to LJ when a squid bite goes off, yet can't be bothered to show up for a few hours at an MLPA event that may ban us from fishing our local grounds forever. Letters and emails I am sure have some impact, but nothing like showing up will. If we want to have a positive impact we should make ourselves seen and heard.

If they are really going to narrow the 10 maps down to 5 at this meeting our fate could be sealed if they pick the wrong 5

Be ready for December 9th and 10th.
