I hope the board doesn't mind. I usually don't double post and I've already posted this under the striper heading. However, so many bass fishermen have shown interest in this that I thought it best to publish in the bass column as well. Please forgive this request. From CSPA: It seems that we are cr...

It seems that we are creating quite a stir from some private feedback we've been able to ferret out and the legislators are now DISCOURAGING E-mail contact since we're clogging the circuits. A shame in a state that advertises itself as the world leader in technology. They complain that they'd be ove...

I've got something I can turn into a flyer, I'll work with it and then print the link.

Thanks for the suggestion, it's something I'll remember to do in the future as well.

Wesley, what we need now is letters and plenty of them. Please write and have all your friends write. If you're going to a club meeting have the people in the club write.

Here's the connection to the instructions for letter writing:

Justin, I've sent you a private E-mail.

In short for the board, name the time and place and I'll be there.

CSPA Action Alert 3-18-09 Legislation to Eradicate Striped Bass Fisheries Introduced! We need your letters and support! AB 1253 (Fuller) Would abort the management of the public’s striped bass fishery, open it to unlimited harvest, and send it to oblivion. Apparently not satisfied that the litigat...

We've been in contact with our connections at the assembly. According to our sources, the bill will not be heard in committee until April 14th at the earliest. The posted date of the 30th is in error. That means CSPA has the time to: 1. Organize a fierce letter writing campaign (I should have that o...

Ok guys, I'll try to make contact tomorrow. Today has been a very busy day and I'm tuckered. I was planning to go fishing tomorrow but it looks like another day on the computer and on the phone. Again, to keep up on what's going on, please sign up for our weekly emails. It's a self subscribe list an...

Rick, if a sticky, I'd like to do a rewrite. In addition, I don't want to step on any bass group's toes. Please make sure that it's something the board admin wants.

In fact, if so, it might be good if we talked before doing something.

CSPA has been fighting the good fight for over 34 years. Most of that time quietly. However, as most of you notice, the assault on our fisheries has reached epic proportions. Currently CSPA is: 1. Defending the striper by filing as an intervener in the current law suit by the Coalition for a Sustain...

Rich, it's not that she will, she already HAS!

See http://www.calsport.org/12-19-08a.htm

Unfortunately 5,000-7,000 votes are not that much in a state wide election of over 13 million voters.

What is even scarier is that she has a serious shot at becoming our next Governor in 2010.

Fish Trap, I've already posted the Advisory on Coastside. As far as wiping out stripers. You'd be surprised. A female does not spawn until she is 23-24 inches. Even then, the number of eggs is not large. The very large females are responsible for a disproportionate number of eggs. If all of these fe...

CSPA Advisory regarding AB 1253, the bill to deregulate the Striped Bass as a California Game Fish March 6, 2009 -- CSPA is aware of the proposed legislation and will take the steps necessary, with your help, to have this bill defeated. However, to be effective, these efforts should be well planned,...
