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

.

Great points Tyler, you ought to post this up on www.kayaksportfishing.com and http://baytuber.informe.com/index.php they are the main boards up north of SD.

If you are attending, be sure to state you are kayak fisherman, ie a consumptive recreational angler. There are some who think kayakers are just the people in la jolla who check out the sea caves, and sea gaze. With my kayak fishing record this year, I guess I fit into that category!

PS: you can cede your time, if you do not feel comfortable talking, sh*t I'll use it!

ROLL CALL!!!!

One other kayak fisherman spoke. I'm not sure who it was. If you can make these meetings, please come. If you're a better public speaker than me, that's just about anyone, please come. 200 kayakers off of Mission Bay trying to catch a halibut does not sound like a pleasant future. I know Oxnard is a far drive, but I'd rather drive far to go to a meeting and stay local to fish.

Bump. come on guys. 15+ people comment on some dumbass getting pasted in the surf, 20+ people will argue about the latest fish report, and almost no one will comment on the MLPA, lend their support or go to a meeting or MLPA mixer?

If the MLPA closes LJ, Point Loma, and Cardiff, there will be almost no more kayak big fish reports from San Diego. Although we may get some new surf videos of our new launch sites to argue about.

I can't believe the guides and businesses with the most to lose have not even commented on the process or lent their face and name to fight against it.

I will double check with the Boss man tomorrow and if he gives me the day off I am doing the drive! C'mon everybody it is extremely important that we get to this meeting and show people that LJ is so important to us. I know a ton of you guys have sick days saved up so take one and let's roll on up, I will post tomorrow if I can go for sure and if so I have room for 3 more people and you don't have to contribute any gas money I will cover it!! Out of excuses yet????????????

Be ready for December 9th and 10th.
