I had a feeling you were lurking out there aunty em! how are ya?
Ill come out that night to issaquah. it would be fun to put some faces to the monikers on the board. I am going to call WT and see if i can go to the auction as well. I would like to learn more about them.

I probably wont agree with them on everything but I will make my voice heard where I do not agree. i am one of those people that is ususlly in the minority of opinion, no matter what the group. but I find that I learn more by engaging and debating with those that disagree with me than I do from those that agree with me.

In my opinion- the US fish and wildlife will wake up and smell the coffee the day that all of these sportfishing and conservation groups put up a unified front. the more that we fight amongst ourselves, the more we protect their inefficiency and commercial collusion.
Now is the time to make an effort between all fisheries/environmental related groups to find out where we are all in agreement and create a common front out of that agreement. ( like the US and russia in WW2, they didnt agree with eachother on politics but there was common threat to address)
