Legislation this week would allow commercial trade perch for walleye permits in Saginaw Bay

No way.

 

A whopping 4 sentence paragraph UNDER PERCH. As it says NOTHING SIGNIFICANT. Unbelievable

 

McCbroom is a total tool. His family owns the farm where more crop damage deer were shot than anywhere else in the U.P. the same farm where one CWD deer was mysteriously found, the only one in the U.P. He managed to block DNA testing on that deer so it was likely a plant from Wisconsin. He is pushing for the decimation of the deer herd in that area now. No surprise that the netters bought this corrupt, Jack wagon.

 

Numbers caught, amount of $ made off per species have and NEVER Will add up. I forsee lots of extra problems bought to happen.

 

Thanks Mike, for saying it nicely.

 

I appreciate the summary and the linked "proposed" amendments.

Is there someone that can help us take it a step further? Perhaps a summary on where we are at with a Sportsman response? Is there a petition being circulated opposed to them? Should we organize emails to the politicians with our strong opposition? Should we be negotiating/countering with eliminating all commercial fishing in the Saginaw Bay?

I have to read some of the other previous thread(s) to see where we are at.

 

I'm just sick and tired of that two faced hack claiming to support us while knifing sportsmen in the back at the same time. Mcbroom is an embarisment to the Republican party which I vote for more times than not.

 

You dont have to explain or justify your frustration to me. Fully understand. I am on board and Beyond trying to stay civil. In All honesty IMO its not really any political(both sides pay eachother off)disgrace its more of a Morel Duty to us and our resources kind of thing that GREED continues to pay others to look away/play along. Things will become very interesting come next soft water season.

 

Trade perch for walleye? They haven't let up on the perch even when the population dropped significantly. It's pretty obvious that $ speaks louder than conservation. Why can't they see that ruining the sport fishery could cost the economy billions?

 

they keep electing him ,i think the sportsmen just don't have enough leverage on these issues as we should.

 

Very obvious! Thing is most are not grasping is they lowered the limits on rec anglers, never lowered or put in place ANY quotas/limits on netters. Netters cried wolf there is no lomger the perch numbers and say barely worth netting.(finacial wise) LIARS. I can personally put anyone interested in contact with Dana Serifan and another individual that if Dana still got the balls to brag he will admit again that last couple years for PERCH has been his best in years. We are only to blame for being Fooled by these Fools.

 

i don't get it sometimes, we the sportsmen put more money in the state revenue than all the commercial fisherman do ever thought about we are the backbone of the dnr . you would think they would treat us with a little dignity instead of a bunch of fools , this has to change .
