Just got an email - LJ Closure! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Billy V · 06-30-2009, 04:24 PM

Come On Johnny, Spit the Hook. lmao

Don't get your panties in a bunch, just show up and write out your public comment like the rest of us. (sheesh) some guys just don't get it.

Your money is not going to cut it at this point. Remember this is a Public Based Process, they want Your Input, not your money.

The chicken little comment was funny!

Taking attendance!
if you dont show up to the Laguna MLPA workshop tomorrow night! you cant fish Dana or Laguna ever again either! I have a 50. cal mounted on the front of my new Proweler Big Game and I only fish the at harbor entrance!

I want to be a bully!

Grego · 06-30-2009, 05:09 PM

Ok, it's 6:00 pm now....game time, will resume after...8:30 pm.

FISHIONADO · 06-30-2009, 07:30 PM

It was good seeing so many kayakers at the meeting tonight.

No sign of Turko.

herefishyfishy! · 06-30-2009, 07:45 PM

The meeting tonight was very informative and I'm glad I spent some of my time at work today filling out my two MPA comment papers.

On a side note, after spending some time talking to Billy tonight, rest assured, he isn't bullying anyone around. As soon as he starts using the "you's guys" and "badda bing badda boom" phrases, that's when you need to worry!

Thanks for everyone who attended tonight, it was good seeing familiar faces, and meeting new kayakers to the sport!

If you are near the next roadshows, please attend, talk with RSG, DFG, inform yourself, write out which proposals you favor, **Cough** FIN A, and the ones that will devistate Kayak fishing **Cough** Lapis 1.

Was cool talking to some of you guys tonight. Look forward to seeing you out on the water for a long time to come..........

DESTROYER · 06-30-2009, 09:07 PM

It was cool getting to talk to Mr. Wiseman for 20 or so minutes. It felt good to vent a little even tough I know the guy is a total politician. Smile grin, smile grin! I like the part when Jim Sammons told him that it should have never come this far, this place is a circus. That got old Wiseman's goat. It was good seeing all of you. I won't be as subtle as Chris.

Yes on proposal A

No on Lapis 1

Billy V · 06-30-2009, 09:11 PM

Just got home.
It was a very productive meeting. Several of us got to spend quality time speaking with RSG members who were unfamiliar with out plight.

-The outcome of that may lead to a favorable adjustment to the proposed location of the Lapis 1 MPA at La Jolla. One which Kayakers, Spearos, and Surf Fisherman can live with.

There was also a lot of discussion and information exchanged about an MPA North of Scripps Pier. Our wants and needs do not seem to conflict with the terms of a reserve in that location.
-It would not preclude us from fishing for pelagic or bait from Scripps Pier and heading North.

These RSG Members were receptive to making the aforementioned adjustment to the Lapis 1 Reserve SMR2 (La Jolla)

I will let Tyler explain more.

Thanks Tyler, Corey, Kurt, et. al. for the close support during that discussion. There was a good representation of Kayak/Spearo members.

Big Thanks to Everyone

If my money is not going to cut it...are you telling me all the other donors money won't count either! Remember BULLY that you guys asked for the money! You guys put on the events! You guys asked to write letters!

Just for the record here are the names of the people I addressed my letters to. (just a few)

Dan Pellissier, Dep. Cabinet Secretary, Office of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
Members, Joint Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture
Senator Darrell Steinberg
Senator Dennis Hollingsworth
Senator Dean Florez
Senator Denise Ducheny
Senator Bob Dutton
Assemblymember Karen Bass
Assemblymember Sam Blakeslee
Assemblymember Noreen Evans
Assemblymember Jim Neilsen
Mike Chrisman, Natural Resources Secretary
Members, Fish and Game Commission

OK now I am over this!

Holy Mackerel · 07-01-2009, 07:53 AM

Guys, please let's get past the bickering here, perhaps, words were taken out of context. I am sure if all parties involved spoke in person, there would be none of this tit for tat.

Everything helps, donating to PSO, writing letters, educating your fellow anglers, attending roadshows, and meetings. Do what you can do, it all is worthy.

Please take this kind of stuff to PM's, it is divisive, when we all need to unite, not only as kayakers, but with spearos, and PBers.

thanks,

chris

Matt · 07-01-2009, 08:07 AM

Wow so I am banned?? hahahaha Rad!!! I wanna see someone tell me I can't fish LJ cuz I got stuck at work until 8pm on my birthday and couldn't attend a meeting that would be fun!

Fellas if you feel your doing your part smile and sit back and know that your doing your part! If you have to miss a meeting because you were stuck at work until 830pm or you can't because of family obligations or just obligations in general that's OK! I attended several meetings even as far as Oxnard, I have sent money, I have written letters etc... I don't think Billy or Tman or Tyler or Chris or myself et.al meant any harm or meant to intimidate you, they are just trying to raise awareness that is all. The "bully" tactics are just a way to bring attention to the issue I doubt that any one of these guys is hating on any fellow fisherman because he missed a meeting especially if it was due to family or work or just not being able to drive 3 hours.

Do what you can and it will be appreciated, if you can do more than you are currently doing...try and do it. Malibu Johnny if you feel your doing what you can, realize that the comment wasn't directed to you or anyone in particular it was more a general statement to try and motivate!! No harm was intended I am sure by any party. To everyone in general please don't stop your efforts in any form no matter how small or how big it all helps!!

Now smile, write a letter and ditch work and go get some fish!!!

gary sullivan · 07-01-2009, 08:35 AM

Matt, you always put a bad situation in it's proper perspective. Kudos to you.

tylerdurden · 07-01-2009, 09:08 AM

Thanks Matt. Well said.

What some missed in the posts is we are trying to get people to take notice and get involved. Too many fisherman are too apathetic right now when they really need to be involved. Complaining after the closures are done won't get us anywhere. We need to add our constructive comments now, especially at events like this where they specifically ask for our participation.

Happy Birthday Matt. I wouldn't want to go through that open house on my birthday either.

DESTROYER · 07-01-2009, 10:35 AM

Happy Birthday Matty

Your not allowed to fish LJ anymore. Work is no excuse
