We are approaching the 1,000 signature mark and need to hit this threshold before we present our case to the government. Post this link on your Facebook wall right now and text three fishing buddies to get them to sign. If we do not maintain this momentum today the officials will ignore us.

if they start banning snapper and whiting there will be nothing left for us to do. stop this legislation!
this is getting ridiculous. leave the recreational fishers alone and go after the commercial trawlers who are actually clearing out the ocean.
GOVERNMENT GET OUT OF OUR TACKLE BOXES. HANDS OFF OUR SPORT.
Absolute joke. They have no idea how much money we bring into the local coastal towns. Keep mako fishing legal!
Enough is enough. First they come for the sharks then they will shut down everything else. We need to push back now.

My family has been fishing these waters for generations. It is a sport not a crime. Stop the madness.
