My point is that it didn't start three years ago, and everyone who's doing it now...including anyone and everyone involved with the CCA...is standing on the shoulders of all of those who came before us.

Comments like "finally someone is doing something" and the like just show how ignorant many of the newly-initiated are.

Fish on...

A lot of the brand new $25 experts have no idea how much they owe to those who have been working for our fish and our fisheries for over 40 years...think you have scraps now? You'd have been done before you even got a chance to start if it wasn't for them.

Fish and fishing advocacy didn't start three years ago when CCA came to town.

I've been involved as long as I have lived here. During all that time our paths have never crossed, but I know people that you have crossed paths with and they were not impressed.

I would not go patting yourself on the back because the last 40 years you have had the chance to do something about the state of things and we see where that has led us.

Hows that status quo working for you.

Fishy


Maybe I'm having a hard time interpreting this...sure seems to me that you were calling out everyone who's not a CCA ballwasher for standing by and doing nothing...when, of course, that's most assuredly not the case.

Many folks have been doing much more than "letting things get so bad before deciding not to do nothing" for much longer than most folks on this board, and elsewhere, have even been alive...much less active in fisheries politics.

If you meant something else...I'm willing to be enlightened.

You have certainly implied that anyone having anything to do with CCA is new to this game when in fact most of the people that I know have been fighting for the resource, just not as one voice.

Do not cast stones if you are not willing to take the heat for your miss-statements, you have made some very divisive statements on here all while claiming to work toward a common good.I am not above letting my passion for the resource let it get the best of me either, but I will never stand around and let someone slander me because I have been there and if we are standing on the shoulders of those that came before,then you are standing on my shoulders as well.
I have never been interested in any type of glory or kudos for my part in working for our resource, but I have been there none the less.
