I just re-read the second post on this thread.

I agree with Sky-Guy. It would be nice to have a forum for outdoor activities other than fishing.

I would like to discuss skiing (downhill & xcountry), hiking, driving destinations, boating destinations, etc....

Finally Someone read all the posts!!

i think grandpa is right. everything is taken wrong in text. netiquette gets as old as political correctness and i hate gremlins, so just about anything i say is gonna come across wrong to many. if we actually fished together i think that everyone would get along just fine. thats one thing about a boat... it brings people together.

my .02 cents is that 90% of the issues impacting our fisheries have no non-political answer. fishing is inextricably linked with politics and the answers to all of the issues facing our fisheries are mired in politics. for example how would it impact our fisheries if 87 billion was not taken from the budget for this quarters iraq bill?

i mean really- i cant think of one major problem in our fisheries that doesnt require a political answer! if anyone can come up with one than i would say give that its own area
