Dude .. whatever floats your boat and you wonder why the disfunction?Derby referiing to your post to someone else about gladdly stepping down if someone wanted to take on your duties. You never want to loose someone with superior knowledge of the issues and who has or is willing to give the time to try and be effective in that position. But if the local anglers felt it might be time to change things up because a better individual was willing to step up...I would hope those people would respect you enough to approach you telling you they were going to put forward a name for your position. Allowing you to reflect and decide to simply step aside or to inform the angling community that there would be a challenge for the chair and that those who want to vote either way should attend and cast their vote. Not stack the room secretly and shove the incumbant aside. My opinion and my beef.
So what's your solution and what have you done? Seeing as you seem to have the solution in your hands?
I think it’s time to think for next year : I would think it’s safe to say that with the same people and the same strategy we should expect same results .I would let it go.. its the same clown show every year by the same bozo's
Well said.I agree totallyI gave up on the SFAB when industry took over all the coastal chair positions leaving no representation from the average recreational angler in any of the south and north coast meeting seats. I'm a guide and have been what many think of as a commercial operator for 35 years but I started as a weekend warrior and will end up as one when I'm done with guiding. So I have strong feelings about having proper balanced representation for our sector so that all anglers interests are heard and fought for equally. Not just being satisfied with some areas being open so that industry can operate there and make a buck. There are far more votes and therefor political clout with the average anglers so it is important to keep as many of them engaged with fighting the political games and bs going on right now. . It should be apparent to anyone who fishes that DFO is broken and so is the SFAB...it is time to break away from repeating the same efforts that keep producing bad news each spring.. I've heard a rumour that pinks may be off limits this summer!!! Who would have thought we would ever see that!!! it is time to change tactics because we are nearing the bottom of the pit.
I don’t know too many details about what was presented to DFO but there is always the chance that the proposal was excellent and the volunteers presented an extremely strong case and the federal government and DFO were not going to budge regardless. If the people fighting DFO on our behalf are all volunteers I think we should be pretty careful how we treat these people or we may find ourselves in worse shape when they finally tell us to go **** ourselves and walk away. If there are people on here that think they have better ideas or are better candidates then step up and get er done.
This is not the volunteers fault that we have woke virtue signalling morons above them calling the shots.

I am glad that you springvelocity, as Derby's constant echo, are on the same page and made out of the same stuff as him. And some wonder why we are no further with issues...I would let it go.. its the same clown show every year by the same bozo's

pretty sad Profisher.. U carry onReally? Is that how you debate with DFO....call them bozo’s when you have nothing to left to defend your position. No wonder why we lost again. Sorry admin I’m trying to raise legitemate concerns and have a level headed debate but it seems like when some can’t it becomes personal. I wasn’t calling any one individual out just the entire SFAB process and DFO ..Lol
We also need dfo to fully elaborate on the decisions they make. Posting on the dfo website with zero details leads to frustration and mistrust. Why would anyone believe that dfo based this minuscule opening on science? The science and catch data punches holes in their decisions year in and year out. They need to publicly and fully explain their decision making process and how it benefits the majority of Canadians. That’s who they work for! Hopefully SFAB can get a detailed account of the process that ended up here. I look forward to their answers. It’s no longer enough that dfo says this is for conservation when there clearly are other factors involved here. This is an election year if Trudope has his way, every decision made this tear is through that lense. So let’s hear the reasoning behind another partisan disaster for the Coast. In the meantime, Conservative Party of Canada, get iff your asses and start fighting for us. There’s 100,000 voters here disenfranchisedNo i have alot more !!!! , just don't want to make a bad situation worse by posting on a public forum . At the end of the day people i hope do appreciate what the dedicated volunteers bring to the table. Were just working in a system that is out dated and broken causing decention and distrust. We need a formal voting system for better representation on the issues that way there is no surprises, not a show of hands, Were in pretty deep hole now from a advocacy perspective, . ,I believe data and science is our friend maybe just not right now. Data and science in this decsion wasnt even taken into account, If we dont figure how to pressure the government to change the way we allocate stocks the salmon are done. Im my opinion we should have set DFO up for a court case .
