Oh and Daddy--
Before you take your next shot or go off an a rant--
I commend you and Todd and anyone else that takes the time to get involved, BUT, all that involvement means very little (fart in the wind) when all the powers see is a few dedicated people like Todd or you in their face every month. Without a commited, dedicated group to stand together you are wasting your time.
There is no one (so far) on this board that I can say I remember from all the trips to Olympia back in the 70's or 80's, so the fart in the wind was not a shot at you or anyone, just a state of fact of what we got out of the months of our lives trying to stop politics from running our state fisheries back then. The commercials and Indians were GROUPS with power and ran right over us like a small speed bump.
So far, in the last 20 years, I have seen NOTHING work to change for the better and on the surface it looks like CCA has the best chance. Maybe there is fault in CCA, but fishermen should band together and at least try. If everyone joined CCA for just two years and let the process develop, we might all be surprised! If not, move on to some other group and try again.
So, bitch and complain about CCA or any other group all you guys want, but nothing will change as long as you all fight on boards like this about joining--Join, let the process work and see if it helps, you have nothing to loose but 25 bucks.
