ssf, like I said, if getting gillnets out of the LCR is your interest, then you are spot on with your position...they serve each other perfectly.

If you think this will help fish or fishing, though, then you are greatly mistaken.

LB, I really do appreciate your passion, honestly...I wish more fishermen would grow some passion about protecting the resource and our recreation and act accordingly, and I give you kudos for doing so...but I've said it before, and I'll say it again...

You should not be advocating in public, because your grasp of the most basic tenets of fish and fish politics is tenuous at best, and flat out ridiculous most the time. You are not helping the fish or the fishing, and you are making the CCA look dumber and dumber all the time the more you tie your lack of basic knowledge in with what the CCA is doing.

If you really care about fish, fishing, and the CCA...then you should really consider this; stop talking in public about anything involving the CCA, fisheries, or fisheries politics. You are making anyone you support look dumb by association.

Something tells me you will keep forging forward...so I'll recommend you read up more on the "Interest vs. Position" and "Backfire Effect" stuff I put up above...all the while, I know that every time I try to give you a tidbit of fact, the Backfire Effect just kicks into high gear.

Just make sure you get that list of bigots and gillnetters all shined up so you have someone else to blame when your "plans" go in the schitter.

Fish on...
