Thanks Joe for all you and your spearo brothers have done.

I completely agree....

You know it's funny but as the semi-permanent outsider I know whatever I say I'm probably just going to get shit for it so I'll just tell you what I think straight up.

I think what your two groups (Speros, Kaykers) did in relation to the MLPA is frankly almost unbelievable. Three years ago I would of thought it couldn't of been done. I figure La Jolla was gone, done deal.

The other special interest groups had the money and the power but the shore based freedivers, and Kayakers who had the least political power in the process were able to rouse their public and voice their positions frankly better then anyone else.

People took notice and boundaries and reserves were changed directly because of your actions and the support you were able to raise in your ranks. You guys may feel your loosing a lot but you guys made a HUGE difference. Every inch of la Jolla that will still be open is directly due to your efforts.

Looks like fun! Nice rig! Its always better in a tin can!

I'm working on a new bench seat bait tank myself. How many gallons is that one?

Looks like you've got a lot of carpet to rip out, unless you like the smell of blood as I'm sure you'll be spilling a lot of that
