TPWD has told me they have to have support to maintain our Red Snapper and Shark limits in State Waters. If we set on our behinds
TPWD will take it away. I have spoken to several members of the TPWD Commission. This is a must series of meetings to attend.

We need everyone there. If you don't like to speak please have someone type a statement for you. Sign in and go to the speakers podium and simply state you have a statement to be entered for the record and I am not for any reductions. Let the next person have the time.

I will try to make the Dickinson,Port Aransas and South Padre meetings
personaly. Oil at a hundred dollars a barrel will make me sell a few more cans for gas. LOL

Please fill the room.

RFA Texas is spearheading the move to remove the Menhaden reduction industry from State Waters. Please remember to support this issue. Menhaden are truly the most important fish in the sea. They filter 4 gallons of water per minute eating stuff like red and brown tide algae. They are also very important to the food chain for all recreational sportfish. We need to let them do their job not be ground up for chicken, pig and cat food.

Well .... according to threads on other boards the first meeting held in Port Arthur last night was not well attended and the attendants were not very vocal.

And to make matters worse CCA went on record as wanting to give in to the feds. What a joke this organization has become since it was formed years ago. They haven't seen a dollar of mine in 5 years and will never see another one. I would like to see a boycott of the S.T.A.R. tourney. When you sign up for S.T.A.R. you give them the authority to speak for you.

Please show up......let's roll. Evil or Very Mad

I just got off the telephone with Deep Sea Headquarters and Greg and them were not even remotely aware of this proposal and meeting. He promised me he would attend and try to get all the captains and deckhands there as well. I even suggested to Greg that they put an announcement on their marquee ....Anyone attending the meeting will receive a discount on their next state waters trip! He thought that was a neat idea but I can't say that it will happen. Razz

So .... please, if you have contact with anyone in Port A. that might be even slightly affected by this please give them a call to see if they even know about it.

Dolphin Docks, Adventurer, Port A. Outfitters, Fisherman's Wharf, Woody's????

Shorty's??? Laughing
