First off, I’ll state that I am 100% in favor of odd/even days. It is way overdue. But let’s look at this problem with a touch of reality. The Power Boat Squadron (PBS) is very much in the majority amongst boat owners in Utah and I would be VERY surprised if ANY of them would support this solution. They are in no way impacted by people out fishing from a boat. Conversely, people out fishing from a boat are impacted by the PBS on a daily basis.
So, while this would be a good thing for us who fish from boats, it will not have any beneficial effect for the PBS. The PBS by in large will not support any such effort to limit their participation in water sports (IMHO) and the chance of this ever being passed into law is slim at best.
I’ll sign any petition that supports this idea; I’ll write to my state legislators in favor of such move; and I’ll encourage my boating friends to do the same.
I’m not holding my breath waiting for anything meaningful ever happening in this regard in my lifetime. But trust me fishing brothers and sisters, I’m 100% with you on this issue in both heart and spirit.
