Drew -- Tubedude was told that he had to bring up his perch regulation change at the SPRING RAC.
Yet -- this proposal was brought up at a September RAC that didn't deal with fishing regulation changes? How much fishing support should have been expected at a RAC covering waterfowl issues?
This whole thing is fishy. If an angler wants to change a fishing regulation, they can bring it up at a RAC and take it to the Wildlife Board -- at which point the angler will be told that they didn't bring the proposal up at a Spring fishing RAC. However, if the State wants to change a regulation they can bring it up late in the year? What about public comment? [b]Has the list of specified waters ever been given to the public for public comment? [/b]
Why is there such a double standard? Why have fishermen been kept in the dark with this? Why try to push it through this late in the year, and not done on the same schedule that fishermen have been told time and again to follow?
Drew -- this is a fishy proposal. If the Wildlife Board has any balls, they'll tell the state the same thing they told Tubedude with the Yuba perch -- bring it up in the spring, open it to public comment, then vote on it next year in the fall / winter.
