It would be nice if somebody from here would be able to make it and give us a good update on what was discussed.

These meeting are pretty boring, but I strongly suggest anyone in B.R. attend and voice their opinion. It does help sometimes.

"The WLF Commission voted unanimously yesterday morning to reject the new Federal Regs on recreational Grouper and AJs. In other words, they will not adopt Federal regulations inside our state waters. While it will make no real difference to the actual fishing (nobody catches grouper or AJs in LA state waters) it does send a strong message that we are no longer willing to accept bogus regs based on bad data, especially when no consideration was given to recreationals in the crafting of the regs in the first place.

Nice, hopefully other states would do the same and start sending a message to the Feds.
