It was a valient effort on all of our parts. But with all the negativity and ignorance of most people (Non-fishers) that I talked with and tried to persuade to vote yes,I had a feeling we were doomed. I know that at our next Gig Harbor chapter meeting of Puget Sound Anglers, the mood is going to be somber. You guys are right when you said that we were outspent, I myself only heard one pro-campaign on the radio and saw only 2 yes signs posted. All mine were promptly torn down, as I live in this commercial town of Gig Harbor.
Well, we can't make believe we don't care about the issue and throw our hands in the air and give up, even though it feels as we should. We have to look for a new leader and somehow continue to educate and rethink the general public. I know for one thing that Gary Locke will never get my vote again, I know how could I have been that stupid too. Lets go fishNg while we can....See ya down at the Satsop this weekend, and I promise to be courteous to you fellow fishers in the driftboats (Use a Willies also).
