Jan,
I just read the same thing in todays paper. Its getting to the point where I am considering giving up my lifetime passion and selling the boat and all my tackle .Quit buying my licensce and become a couch potato.But that die hard fisherman in me wont give up with out speaking my piece and telling the powers that be ( if they listen) what I really think of this.If they get to the point and I believe its coming that they tell me I cant catch a fish from my boat with my own rod and reel. I would do everything in my power legally to fight this.I am a naturilized citizen and I consider this my country. Even though I was born in Scotland and have that Scots blood boiling in my veins I feel that fishing is a basic freedom and If you remember the movie Braveheart you cant take our freedom from us.You might restrict us but as a group we can make our voices be heard and we will fight for our rights.Support all who oppose these injustices.Get out and Vote.
