Don't fool yourself, fishermen are the minority and our enjoyment of tribal casinos won't even come close to hitting their bottom line. Don't waste your breath drawing a line in the sand between recreational fisheries and frequenting casinos. Focus your efforts on getting your elected officials to work towards an open dialogue between the tribes and the state.

Not that I spend even 5 minutes a year at any casino, tribal or not. But there is nothing gained from the never ending cop out of "not gonna give em a cent at their casinos" . When was the last time any of us were at a casino, looked around and thought, "damn! if all these sportfishermen knew what was going on they all wouldn't be here!"?
