This post has since been removed because of all of the negative remarks and reviews that have flooded his page since he posted it. I posted the entire post on a thread in the GA Coastal Fishing forum titled !!please read!!. This fleet owner is having all of his customers sign a petition to shut down recreational fishing of red snapper in order to keep his business rolling and profits up at our expense. He is then going to take all of these signatures to DC with his other fleet owning buddies in order to lobby support to close our already small red snapper season. Many of the people who sign this petition have no idea about the fishery or the regulations. A lot of them have never even seen a red snapper before boarding this guys boats. He currently owns 3 large party style boats and makes multiple trips per day, leading to hundreds of signatures each day. This is the battle we have ahead of us if we want equal access to our God given natural resources. I encourage each of you to visit his page and let you know how he feels. I also encourage you to write anyone who he might lobby to, and the Gulf Coast Council to express your thoughts on his bully practices in order to bolster his petition numbers. He knows he cant go door to door and get signatures because most will kick him off their property. So he cheats in order to show a false number of "diverse fishermen" who "agree" with his stance. Let your voice be heard.
