Again???? :D

Depending on the time to speak, he is out of school around 2:30, prob not early enough to still make the drive...

I should be able to make it though.

i'm going.

I'm in!
I was thinking maybe we should wear blue shirts as well in order to neutralize? :biggrinjester:

Bump :jig:

RSG meeting in September is their last one we can comment on.

BRTF meeting October 20-22 is the last BRTF meeting. This is where they decide which map they like the best, or they combine maps to make the one they like the best.

December 10th the F&G commission approves a final map of closures. It will most likely be the one the BRTF likes the best.

Only 3 more meetings guys, then this is all over.

I'll be there for sure.

I thought having matching shirts made a strong impact at the previous meetings when we all wore black.

Black isn't a good choice for obvious reasons.

Let's all agree on a color to wear to we can visually show our solidarity.

The facists are wearing blue now?

Do we wear red? Green? Firetiger?

Willy

bump again guys.

We are making a positive difference as kayak fishermen. Lets keep it up.

The only way we have been able to make a difference is by showing up. Why stop now. Only 3 more meetings.

Bump, let's not drop the ball.

September 10th , 2009
Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles
6101 West Century Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90045
September 10: Meeting

If someone can get there on Sept 9th, there is no public comment, but can do some intel on what the maps will be looking like, that would be helpful. Send me a PM.

1 of 2 meetings left!

See ya there ,

Pm sent Chris.....

weekly bump! :)

i requested the day off. i'm as good as there.

Bump again guys.

It is 2 weeks and a couple days away. Last chance to get those vacation requests in. I hate spending my vacation days attending bs like this, but if I don't do it now, I won't be able to take vacation days to fish local after this year.

We need guys that can speak in a coherent and logical manner, without losing their cool. If not, please cede your time to someone who shares your views and can follow the rules. It is just as important as speaking yourself.

I agree, losing your cool is counterproductive to everyone's efforts. Nothing wrong with speaking with some passion, but be respectful about it.. as most guys were at the last meeting.

Otherwise.. I may need to ride up with someone that day. I live in Mission Valley area/ Allied Gardens, anyone near by going?

Bump

We can arrange carpools on this thread. If you need a ride post up. Also there should be one on BD.

September 9th and 10th the stakeholders meet to get final maps

October 20-22 the BRTF meets to combine the maps to come up with their favorite.

December 10th the DFG commision makes their FINAL decision and it's all over.

That's it. It's almsot over. Now is the time to be even more involved, not rest on the efforts you and others have already made.

The Power Point Presentations are very effective, I hope to see more of them.
Perhaps from the Spearo Perspective as well.
-Those guys face the same doom as us, but have certain unique needs.

It all comes down to leaving our safe and productive area open and accessible.

The same 4 people should not be continually bumping this thread!! Let's see some people bump this thread with their support, and committment to attend this meeting!!!!

Bumpity bump bump bump.

Already got the day off. Anyone know when the public comment is?

Don't know what time public comment is yet. ~10 days before hand we should know. I'll post up as soon as I find out.
