You guys sound like the TR board posters after a loss. Speaking of schill.....whose website was bought and paid for with public money ? You guys have let your zealousness over one issue blind you. The hypocrisy of some on this board really surprises me. Many were drooling at the thought he was connected to the "theft". Now that the abusers and misappropriators have been revealed, you resort to juvenile name calling to try and support your position. Which non profit fisherman groups financially benefited from the past LDWF admin? Who has pushed the "story" thatmanaging the snapper resource will cost a small amount of state dollars or that LDWF has plenty of money to pay for it? The story has been put out there by the same groups who benefited from the previous LDWF's misappropriations and you guys swallowed it hook ,line and sinker. I suggest that you research the facts instead of parroting someone else's BS.

What I posted above are my thoughts and mine alone, after a lot of time looking at the facts, the budget, and public statements made by those involved. You haven't addressed them at all other than to try and distract by saying since some BP money was misspent it's ok that Charlie has been terrible at his job.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the license fee increase supported by recreational fisherman in this state intended to provide funding for red snapper management? Since the feds will still do the stock assessments as they do now, I don't see the funding problem. The existing money stays where it is at and the new money gives the state biologists the ability to interpret the federal data and set appropriate management. If the state is going to now reverse course, I for one want my money back.

Additionally, the federal stocks do not include counts from rigs or artificial structures. As I read the assessment, the Artificial Reef ROV surveys are only used to assess the age and length of fish, but not the number. So essentially, only fish in open water count towards the stock count. How can that be accepted? If you don't count fish by artificial reefs (i.e. rigs), you are missing a big chunk of the count. Can someone provide insight on to that part of the assessment?
