re: Critical meeting for Mississippi Fisherman tonight Courtyard Gulfport 6pm

Meeting went ok. The entire orange beach fishing fleet showed claiming to represent their Mississippi fishing clients as well as the Louisiana fisherman who were too chicken to speak in favor of this at Baton Rouge. (Despite already speaking at the Orange Beach and Mobile meetings)

They are decent guys who are at their ropes in trying to determine how to make a living. This is not their fault it is the damn councils.

Guys this battle is over and we have lost, The council will pass this next week at the Beau Rivage on Biloxi. The recreation quota will be 1/2 or less of what is is now as if it matters. Effectively Federal Red Snapper season is gone.

o not waste your time with comments to the council go straight to Vitter and Landreau.
