Brandon

Interesting how all of a sudden Brandon is taken aback because his type of fishing is effected by the days off?? He could have cared less before, and he will push for Option 1...again, I dont want to start a debate about types of fishing, but now maybe he sees what he did to us. To quote the great Doc Holliday "his hypocrisy knows no bounds"

The way I see it - the DNR tosses out #2 which forces everyone to vote for #1.

Still makes no sense to me - push to limit C/R fishing because you are worried there are not enough fish.

IMHO - DNR should be pushing the C/R and curtail the C/K.

WHY would they do that Skip. It makes WAY too much sense and who wants HONEST opinions?. We see how well they have managed the deer population. Politics is a rough game in MD and only worse in Chicago.............Gary

Brandon lost a lot of my support after his secret deal with Ed O'Brien. I do feel Brandon is feeling some pain now and maybe he will rise to the occassion once this PSCR debate is handled, and go after the real 800# gorilla in the room. Unfortunately, I feel he has miscalculated and lost the upper hand he had on Oct 19th and his quest will be much tougher now that the horse is out of the barn...Don

I agree, and that is the fight we need to keep pushing forward with. Promote C&R, Curtail C&K...100%

We've been worked over pretty good on this C/R issue. Hopefully this is a wake up call and we'll become involved and unified. I'm not sure what will happen on Mon, but we should work together over the weekend to present a solid case. Both options are unacceptable.

Here are the points/questions I have for the meeting;

• rods to 4 per person, manageable if I fish alone.
• no fishing with barbs or stinger hooks
• use of circle hooks only
• no daily restrictions
• I want to know when/how we can call for a motion to move back trophy season and end the C/K season on the Dec 15th...shifting focus from C/R
• We need make sure DNR is using correct numbers. What was used in the presentation was flawed. There are not that many guys fishing or catching as many fish as indicated.
  

Can you give me your thoughts on these..agree/disagree/add more/subtract some...
How do you feel about pushing for game fish status? We all know that the trophy season is the 800lb gorilla in the room, but can we use it to our advantage?

Don't write off Brandon yet, he could realize how his enthusiam was used to Ed's advantage and there might be backlash.

I'll also move to the Potomac River license and will not be renewing my subscription on TF....voting with my wallet. My little guy looks like he's got the H1N1 flu and one of my twins is starting to get sick, but I'm still hoping to make it Monday.

Wow, the power of ADD
