For those who think that this is an electioneering ploy-- I imagine you are right. However, I see two points emerging here.

One: Bush has sense enough to reach out to sport fishermen for support in an election year. That may not make Aunty feel all warm and fuzzy, but it does indicate an appreciation of our group.

Two: Bush has held at least three meetings with sport fishing groups; the first two were with industry leaders of sport fishing companies.

That says a lot to me.
