w. coyote and Cigar:

You are way off the mark in your blanket criticism of PSA. I would submit that, as an organization, PSA is currently doing more positive things for sports fishing and shell fishing than either one of you would ever accomplish in your lifetimes, and more than most organizations in Washington combined. Sorry fellas but you are both way out of line. Sports fishing advisory groups are made up by and large by hard working and dedicated volunteers and most of them are PSA members. Many of the positive things evolving in sports fishing are thanks to PSA. Many other groups are very active in a positive way including WSC. No one that I know in PSA bashes WSC. Personal opinions may vary widely on the issues that WSC champions but no one and certainly not PSA as a whole doubts their passion for our fisheries.

Personally I am for WSR but totally understand and respect the other side of the issue. You two might try it sometime. See both sides, make your case and respect others. Instead you choose to bloviate , all puffed up with your own narrow agenda. You obviously do not understand what you are bashing. Positive actions walk the walk and hollow ponitificating is feeble and embarassing. Read your posts again and if you are not embarassed you should be.

The REEL NEWS is not published by PSA but by Jim Goerg who , I submit, has done more for the advancement of sports fishing than you two blowhards will ever do in your lives. The paper is a vehicle for a fee for groups like PSA to get the word out about what they do. The REEL NEWS has been honored with excellence awards in outdoor writing and was voted the publication of the year in its field last year. Hardly a "RAG. The REEL NEWS has a subscription tally of about 30,000. Every issue has a tremendous amount of fishing information you won't find elsewhere. Several contributing volunteers write about things they care about and voice a wide range of opinions. No one asks you to agree with everything but we would ask that you think before you spew.

I wouldn't be so pi$$ed if you had some substance to your argument but like so many on this BB you only see your outlook on things. Have you gotten down in the trenches to make any difference on the issues you are passionate about? Do you think that anyone who disagrees with you is stupid?


Steve Ng....Every member of PSA has a voice including Jacob. Write an editorial about your disagreement but don't worry that PSA speaks for you. Come to the board of director's meetings and find out more in depth info on what the consensus is. If you don't agree you are totally within your rights to do so. PSA is not a single issue organization but a group of volunteers looking to do something good for the future of fishing of all kinds. WSC is a wild steelhead organization and they have their agenda just like PSA does. At PSA all members have a voice.
