Proposed Tackle Regulations Violate Due Process-Out-of-Calif manufacturers may no longer serve the state

[WB Staff]

California Anglers Launch Online Petition Drive

(Sacramento, CA): Thursday, California's leading advocate for sportfishing announced that it is raising legal concerns associated with the California Department of Toxic Substance Control's (DTSC) decision to potentially regulate or ban common fishing tackle.

"The process that produced the Work Plan lacked meaningful public notice or input, and was guided by undisclosed and unsubstantiated policies," wrote Maureen Gorsen, attorney with Alston Bird LLC and former DTSC director under Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. "The consequence of selection as a priority product is severe. Out-of-California manufacturers may no longer serve the state, given the potentially major cost with providing California-unique products.

Sign Petition: State Angling to Ban Common Fishing Gear & Sinkers!

You have until October 23rd to STOP the state from regulating and potentially banning common fishing gear and sinkers! If not, the price of your fishing tackle could increase 20-fold or, worse yet, become illegal in California! This move will also hurt the small business owners and jobs dependent on outdoor recreation to make a living. State regulators have NOT conducted any research that would justify such onerous and costly regulations, even though they were required to do so. The good news is they can reverse course, but they need to hear from you -- today. NOW!

Thank you for having your voice heard by signing the Petition by clicking here (Just fill in name, email and zip code, takes 10 seconds if you type fast, like me ;/): http://www.sportfishingconservation.org ... -petition/!

Done. & WTH pretty soon the Delta is gonna be dead and the only thing we are gonna be fishing for is carp and brown trout. They are gonna outlaw lead in fishing products however people are puffing away on cigarettes (which i don't have a problem with) and if you happen to walk into any one of the TONS of Starbucks locations in this state you will notice a sign saying "warning this place may contain chemicals known to the state of california to cause cancer."
