Guy's.. You all forget.. Back in the day "Your Senator" supported and voted for the Bill along with the WL&F Commission that passed to allow for the dredging of oyster's. It's easy to blame organizations.. But the WL&F commission have members representing all user groups. They are the ones that "IN FACT" ultimately voted for lowering the limits and for dredging of oysters on BL. It allowed for many more for oyster permits in BL because of the displaced oyster fisherman in the SE after Katrina.
Everyone on here or anyone that fishes BL, that wants to complain or make comments can attend and are allowed to speak at the monthly commission meetings..All members have a profile on the WL&F site with there emails listed.
How many of U go and make comment?? Email the commission members?? Call them???
Be totally honest..... Not many, I'm sure.. Believe me when I say the Commercial peps are there..
So ask yourself.. What have I done to effect chance?? Have I missed work or a fishing trip to go and present my opinion.. I would guess????? Probably Not...
I'm sure if half the guide's, and 2 or 3 hundred recreational fishermen who fish BL show up at commission meetings every mth.. I'm sure you would get their attention..
That's why the USA is SO GREAT... We as Citizens have the "RIGHT" to voice our opinions, and hold our appointed commission member's accountable.
Again just my HUMBLE OPINION.......
I totally agree that hand t
