Proposed CA Fishing Tackle Lead Ban - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PAL · 03-18-2018, 01:01 PM

Thanks to everyone who has responded. I agree with Flounder, enough's enough. I recently attended a meeting in Sacramento, where the goal was to increase fishing license sales. It was hard to come up with any good solutions given all the barriers. A lead ban would be one more. I suppose I could see the point if it were proven to impact wildlife, but there are no studies that do so.

1. Bullets
2. Plastic bags
3. incandescent light bulbs
4. Fishing weights

Condoms.
It's better to have it, and not need it.
Then to need it and not have it.

Do any of you really trust research on a topic like this, when the groups funding the research have financial reasons to hope for a specific outcome? I sure don't.

Maybe we need to start taking a look at other, more ecologically friendly options for our sport. If we want to see recreational fishing exist in another 100 years, we are going to need to change with the times and evolve as well...
