I have a new hero!
Man, that was a butt chewing that he will remember!

Sorry Chris, I couldn’t make it past about 10 seconds of “Beyonce”

218WA Sailfish
200 Verado
The "Penn"sion Plan

And the closures keep on coming…

Couple years ago when the bsb were being closed, I went to one of the meetings and asked where did you look for bsb ? Over a sandy bottom or near structure ? They couldnt answer. I bet they didnt find many of them using trawl nets

Amen

Finally someone with common sense. Would love for this guy to be in charge of NOAA

It’s a (**() joke what we have allowed our government to become.

I wonder how many artificial reefs we could create with 1 BILLION dollars each year. Our ocean would be so full of life, you could walk across fish backs… Since that is federal money, I don’t think that ANY of it goes towards reef building (only state money is used for that). Here is the kicker though! 4-5 years ago, SCDNR applied for a federal grant. They asked for something around 1 million to build out our artificial reef program here in our back yards. The feds rejected their request!!! How ridiculous is that? If I recall, our budget for reef building is only around $100K-$200K per year. Could you imagine how many reefs we would have and how well maintained they would be if the feds coughed up 1 million each year? That’s a drop in the bucket for a 1 BILLION dollar a year budget, but would increase our reef building efforts 5-10 fold!!!

Holy Crap that is Awesome! If we only believed that it will make a difference.
