URGENT WARNING TO ALL NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BASS & STRIPER ANGLERS!!!!!
The southern water agencies have petitioned the Fish & Game Commission to enact new laws in an attempt to drastically reduce the populations of stripers, largemouth, smallmouth & spotted bass in the Delta, bay & river system.
They are calling for bass limits to be increased from 5 per day to 10 (and the minimum size requirement to be dropped from 12 inches to 8).
They also want striper limits to go from 2 fish a day over 18 inches to 6 fish a day, with a minimum size of 12 inches!!
Who's behind this? Check out this list and you'll see where the motivation is coming from:
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, Kern County Water Agency, Southern California Water Committee, Coalition for a Sustainable Delta, State Water Contractors, Western Growers, California Chamber of Commerce, California Farm Bureau and a few others.
They are citing predation on threatened and endangered salmon by bass and stripers as a a key threat and yet, not a word about water issues in the official documents!
We need everyone...guides, charter captains and all recreational anglers to pack the Fish & Game Commission Meeting Aug. 24-25 at the Lake Natoma Inn & Conference Center, located at 702 Gold Lake Road in Folsom.
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THREAT and we need to rise in unison. NO EXCUSES...we all have up be there!!!
