Hey Obama, Keep Your Hands Off My Fishing Pole

| “Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.” —Henry David Thoreau God, I love fishing. I dig fishing almost as much as hunting (almost). I love it so much that I moved to a place that is one of the top angling spots in the world: Miami, Florida. And you know what? I milk these waters as much as a working man can. My fishing roots extend back to Texas and my rowdy childhood when my dad used to take me and my brother fishing on the many lakes, ponds... |
If Obama Bans Fishing, He Hands Over 60 Million Votes To Angler Sarah Palin.

| Sarah Palin could capitalize on this potential Obama executive order tremendously since she is a bonified Salmon Commercial Fishing business owner who has seen the ups and down of the industry. She also understands that Alaska has the most excellent prestine fishing waters for recreational anglers which the fishing guides and local towns thrive off of. Alaska's tourism officials target fishermen from all over the world who pay big fees for air travel and out of state fishing license purchases to come there in search of the big catch and experience the wilderness. If Obama signs a executive order carrying... |
Gone, Fishing?

| So Pres. Barack Obama’s “Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force” has decided that the opinions of America’s 60 million anglers aren’t worthy of its consideration. This task force, headed by the chair of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), was charged with drafting a national ocean policy of marine spatial planning to manage U.S. ocean territory and the Great Lakes. Its recommendations — due out later this month — could be enacted by executive order. Here’s why anglers, and freedom-loving Americans, should be alarmed: Without input from recreational anglers and the conservation groups that represent them — such as Trout Unlimited,... |
My Fishing Rod? Out of My Cold Dead Fingers! (Vanity)

| The statists now consider whether Americans shall be allowed recreational fishing! Out of my cold dead fingers will they take my rod and reel! They prepare to forge yet another link in the ever-lengthening chain that arrests our freedoms. They make claim on our water, our food, our ability to farm, ranch, fish… our travel, our health, and the very air we breathe! So, on queue, an acquaintance e-mailed a “patriotic” You-Tube video, directed at our “leaders,” and about “WE the People.” Yes, that video is a great piece of drama—and great propaganda. But how deep goes our resolve in... |
Fishermen’s fear: Public's'right to fish shifting under Obama?
Monday 15th of March 2010 09:40:05 PM
Posted by admin / Under Fishing
| The Obama administration has proposed using United Nations-guided principles to expand a type of zoning to coastal and even some inland waters. That’s raising concerns among fishermen that their favorite fishing holes may soon be off-limits for bait-casting. In the battle of incremental change that epitomizes the American conservation movement, many weekend anglers fear that the Obama administration’s promise to “fundamentally change” water management in the US will erode what they call the public’s “right to fish,” in turn creating economic losses for the $82 billion recreational fishing industry and a further deterioration of the American outdoorsman’s legacy... |

| Apparently, the story at Red State ("Obama: The Will Of The People Be Damned - I’LL Decide Who Can Go Fishing") has touched a nerve on liberal websites. They are now claiming that it's all a hoax and there's absolutely no truth to it.

Anti-Obama extremists are going mad and wild against him and every time, they try to hit him through different angles and issues.

| It all started here this morning: The Obama administration will accept no more public input for a federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing the nation’s oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters. I had to read that 3 times before it sank in…and then I did a little research. Guess what old Barack (I’ve never had a fishing rod in my hand a day in my life) Obama has been up to since last year? Plotting a Federal takeover of all our bodies of water (freshwater…saltwater…doesn’t matter), in an effort to set up MORE bureaucracies... |

Canada's Conservative government says it will fight the EU ban, which was imposed last July ... A dish of double-smoked bacon-wrapped seal loin in a port reduction will be on the menu... All political parties will have the opportunity to demonstrate to the international community the solidarity of the Canadian Parliament behind those who earn a living from the seal hunt |

A closer look at big decisions affecting the fishing industry

Posted by admin / Under Fishing
| Many of the big decisions that affect our fishing industry are made by people who are far away and have never set foot in Alaska. Catch share programs have become the preferred method for managing U.S. fisheries, and federal managers are offering incentives for regions to adopt the plan. "Business as usual with our traditional management tools is not accomplishing what we need," said Dr. Lubchenco, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration... Catch shares is a term usually applied to programs that divide up fish resources among historical participants, but it also encompasses fishing co-operatives, sector splits and... |

Armed with their reasons why the regulations placed on the fishing industry should be re-examined, the Gloucester activists packed their day with meetings, and delivered their message to the open ears of Washington lawmakers. Despite the cold temps and constant threat of rain and snow, a crowd estimated at 5,000 people attended the protest. “I was impressed with the rally,” said Jack Flaherty, a Gloucester fisherman who drove to D.C. with friends. “The biggest crowd... |

| PETA is calling on the Boy Scouts of America to retire its "Fishing" and "Fish and Wildlife Management" merit badges (to read PETA's letter to Milton H. Ward, president of the Boy Scouts of America, click here). Fishing is no longer considered a benign activity. It is hunting in the water, and the idea of a scout armed with a gun or rod, setting out to actively attack animals who were minding their own business, is not in keeping with the image of scouting, now or in the past. Fishing is also inconsistent with the Boy Scout law, which states,... |

| Fly fishing is a sport that was made popular by the book and movie A River Runs Through It. Some people like it to catch fish, some just enjoy seeing the brightly colored line sweep through the air over the water. And now, fly fishing is also used for healing. "You get in touch with nature and forget about all your problems, it's just a natural way to heal yourself," said military veteran Kenny Stanford who did two tours of duty in Iraq.
