Don't know if any of you have been involved in the debate about the
replenishing the fish stocks and the ridiculous stance the RFA (Recreational Fishing Alliance) has taken with their "Open Ended (some call it Moving Target) Rebuilding" proposal. Almost none of the national groups and about 80% of the state oriented groups have opposed the RFA on this, but they've got some political horsepower and when they start throwing PAC money around, its going to get some attention. Here's some views from both sides of the issue. http://tinyurl.com/5pdtrs |

I am still able to sit and have dinner and discuss fishing with the NorCal RFA rep and that is after we had heated discussions about RFA's support of FORMER Congressman Pombo. |

I'm a long time member of RFA and it has become apparent to me at least that there are some real morons running the show. I honestly don't know how they can justify their stance on this in any fashion. It just doesn't make sense. The only thing I can think of is that they've accepted some donations from manufacturers and are getting pressured by them and by the commercial operaters like head boats and the like. A lot of the charter guys I've talked to about this over the past few months are all for rebuilding and telling the RFA to cram it. |
