I went to the PSA meeting last night in Edmonds. What a great bunch of guys. The thing that impressed me, they were all fishermen. I like the idea of where they are going to hire a lobbyist to voice the sportsmen in Olympia. That may just be the ticket to being heard down there. Maybe it is time for the fishermen, or those who say they are, to step up to the plate and support this effort. We all like to fish, but it seems like the indians and the commercial guys reap the benefits of the law. It is time for change.
The presentation by Salmon University was a very learning experience. Tom Nelson was a kick to listen to! I guess that I would like members of this board to think about is joining PSA or simular group to help fight for our fishing rights in Olympia. It will be worth it in the long run. It seems so easy to complain to each other, but we have the tools to be heard, and we should be heard. Maybe GI Joes, Sportco, and some other big companies could put up donation stations to help pay for the fees involved in our quest for fisherman rights. Great team, PUGET SOUND ANGLERS

hillbilly.....(AKA?)....Glad you enjoyed the evening. I hope you joined. We appreciate you coming.

What I said last night about RFA and the PAC seemed to resonate with the huge audience. I think we just need to let people know what is going on and what we are doing about it and they will join in and help. The money we need to raise is well within our reach if we act after we talk. Acting by donating even a small amount is what all concerned sports people need to do if we are to succeed. We have taken the first steps and there are some really dedicated folks out there working for all sports fishers. We need to support them by joining the groups and banding together to fight for what we have coming to us and that is fair access to our natural resources.

Go to : web page

and click on the links to the Washington Sportsfishing PAC and the RFA and think about donating. We will have much more coming in the future and hope you come along.

Yes, I did join. I don't know how someone could not, after attending a meeting like that. I look forward to the future with this group. \:\)

It was a good meeting.

Tom Nelson always gives a good presentation, so does his 'partner' John Keizer.

Thumbs up to Grandpa and the gang for having Tom from Salmon U give PSA SnoKing a little blackmouth 101.

Now if we could coax H2O and Harley to come to a meeting we might keep them off the politics for a night. naaaa
