It's just like I said before, there doesn't seem to be anything overly suspicious in this proposition. I guess the beautiful thing about propositions is the fact that the language (ie; legalese) seems very specific but it can be interpreted a million different ways. I usually don't take my cues about how I vote from anybody else, but I am seriously confused as to what damage Prop 40 could cause. I don't know about the rest of you guys but, Fishing for me is like a sickness that has been spreading since I was 5 yrs. old, and I'll be damned before I let ANYBODY take that right away from me.

I guess my main hope would be to get an opinion from somebody who is either non-biased or Pro-fisherman, but in all actuality I don't see this proposition as a direct threat to fisherman.... I mean don't we all want clean water to fish in????????????? I may be simplifying the point a bit, I know it ain't that simple.

In addition to being a fisherman I am an avid naturalist (something I believe all TRUE fisherman are to an extent) and I would love to see Parks get more money, I would love to see the gov't go out there and try to acquire land that lays in sensitive areas for the protection of wildlife. Conservation is crucial to our way of life, Closures suck, but in some cases they can be necessary... But I believe that closures should be supported by mountains of evidence, I also believe that closures should be the LAST RESORT.

I really and truly do not believe that Southern Cal needed a closure on Sculpin (Scorpaena guttata), but one was proposed any how... We as fisherman need to be organized when it comes to issues like this, but the thing that sucks is that most of us have no idea as to whether this Prop 40 is dangerous or not........ those that do know the answer need to give us more details so we can make an informed vote........


Well I think I spewed enough for now, but I need to know why this prop needs to be shut down, cause it would really suck If I was trying support my habit, and ended up hurting it.
