I don't give a **** anymore man, the regulations and the whole process is so screwed up, so political and so driven by $$$ I gave up long ago. I fish for my family and I catch the halibut we need. That's it. Its really pointless for joe anglers to think they have any influence on this whole thing. they don't. haven't you wondered why I have not been involved in all the drama this year? I just stopped caring.
I was just pointing out that the first reason you gave for not having a website is because the domain name was taken, therefore we must abandon the idea! lol. And that really just goes to show how much effort really goes into things like getting the public involved. And if you think just asking is unrealistic, its fairly obvious how much drive there is to get this going.
I wish you guys the best of luck getting the most out of our TAC. It looks like its going to be quite the up hill fight. Whatever we end up with, I will continue to make sure I have halibut in the freezer for my family, so It doesn't really matter to me what we end up for regulations. As long as there are halibut in the ocean being harvested and sent over seas, there will be halibut in my freezer.[/QUOTE
You pretty well summed up how I feel about the Halibut Issue.
Hope not to many people loose there jobs over this. My kids all worked for Lodges and fishing resorts, helped pay for there School, it's a life style that we in BC are privileged to have. I would hate to see that disappear for future generations. One of my sons still guides in the summer. This is a hole we have dug by accepting government solutions. We need more TAC period. Where's that proposal?
