This is neither a religious or a political statement.
Amen.
But I fear that certain secular humanists might disagree.
And I THANK GOD I ain't one of them!
So true! Amen.
Vote early and vote often.
I feel deplorable
All we can do is VOTE. Vote with your head and not your heart. Go NAVY
If people had voted with their heads we'd have had two other candidates on the ballot today.Quote:

I hope he does the kind of job as POTUS as he has been promising.
Let's hope the fishing improves under Trump.
How did Amendment 2 do?
As I read it, Amendment 2, and 11 others out of 14 passed.Quote:

Either they prove they can govern or crash & burn in the midterms and then its another Democrat in the Whitehouse in 2020.
I want to see immigration reform, tax reform, affordable universal health care and a balanced budget.
I'm deplorable......And I'm Proud!
Wednesday @ 6:20AM, apparently all the Deplorables stayed up all night watching the election results!

Amendment 2 was approved by more than 79% of alabama voters!
Voters support Alabama Amendment 2 protecting state park revenue | AL.com

With 57 of 67 counties reporting, more than 79 percent of votes cast were in favor of Amendment 2, according to unofficial results posted on the Secretary of State's web site, with more than 1 million ballots for and 275,000 against. It was the widest margin of any of the 14 amendments on the ballot.
Alabama State Parks System Director Greg Lein said the vote validated the widespread concerns over the state parks' budget woes. The system saw $15 million transferred to the state's general fund over the past five years. Five state parks closed last year and others had to defer planned maintenance projects.
"It's crystal clear that Alabamians feel very strongly about their natural resources and about their state parks," Lein said.
This is our big chance as individuals and as a nation. This is our chance to become:
- better as individuals
- better as a nation
- better parents, brothers and sisters
- if you have the Faith, better Christians
- better fishermen and catchers
I certainly hope Trump was sincere in his speech last night. Let's not miss this opportunity to improve. If anything comes to mind to improve on, add it to the list.
I'd like to commend the fine people who frequent this site and took the high road during the difficult and often contentious political season by keeping partisan politics out of the discussions. This is a special place.
I 2nd that statement Eym- This is not one of the best, It is the Best forum that I have ever read, top notch advice and everyone is very well mannered. My only regret is living so far away.
Oh, the OTHER 2nd amendment.
I hope we're all as happy with the next president in two years as we are now.
Yea, coach. Buyers remorse at this level might be really bad. But we will survive as a nation, whatever, however, the future unfolds.
I hope the following will happen in no particular order:
1) the truth about Fast & Furious will be exposed
2) the truth about the IRS scandal will be exposed
3) the truth about Benghazi will be exposed
4) the truth about Obamacare will exposed
5) those who broke laws during the Obama years (including Obama) will be prosecuted
6) the ammo market (especially for .22LR and .22 magnum) will return to normal
7) fences will be mended with our allies - especially Israel, Poland, and the Baltic states
8) Obamacare is repealed
9) people like Zeke Emanuel and Gruber will be held accountable for Obama Care - at least be publicly humiliated for their academic fantasies
10) a Fair Tax or Flat Tax is enacted as law and the IRS abolished
11) energy regulations will be repealed, our Oil and Coal industries reborn
drill/dig, drill/dig, repeat
12) the military will be fully funded, rebuilt and completely modernized
13) Iran gets hurt
14) After seeing Iran get hurt, Russia and China pause to think about things and retreat
15) something gets done about N. Korea, or they get hurt too
16) the military is allowed to freely pursue and kill all terrorists - all of them, anywhere, anytime
17) the mainstream media gets reformed somehow
18) the D.O.J., I.R.S. and State Department are cleaned-out from top-to-bottom.
Then we start getting rid of other federal alphabet agencies.
19) Political Correctness is gone forever, and things get told like they are
20) law enforcement agencies are allowed to do their jobs - especially border patrol
law enforcement is held to a higher standard and overseen by an independent agency
all officers and cruisers are equipped with cameras/audio that can't be tampered with
21) the Left's appeasement of enemies is forever forsaken
22) truly conservative supreme court justices are appointed
no so-called 'interpretation ' of the Law and Constitution
Its not a living,breathing document, just read it, it's in black-n-white print.
23) Public Sector Unions are outlawed
24) drug Cartel leaders are killed - period.
25) manufacturing returns to the US due to our new low low tax rates for them
26) all in all, American strength and respect are restored
27) the Constitution and Bill of rights are restored to their rightful place as Law of the Land
28) all laws passed must pass a Constitutionality test before being signed
29) a Federal Balanced Budget amendment is added to the Constitution
30) we get the hell out of the United Nations
31) ambassador John Bolton becomes Secretary of State
32) George Soros dies mysteriously
33) when people start rioting and destroying public/private property... We shoot them
34) Kimberly Guilfoyle of FOX News comes to her senses and marries me.
This would be HHHHUUUUUGE!!!

I'd be very surprised if he's a friend to recreational fisherman vs. commercial.
But who the president is really doesn't matter, without Congress changing the Magnusson/Stephens Act and putting more funds into fisheries management, nothing will change.
And the cesspool that is our Federal Gov. is still in D.C., and in power, thanks to us, the American people who repeatedly re-elect them.
It's not going to get better for recreational fishermen. I've mentioned before that I like to prepare sailcats and remoras and I've suggested that other fishermen give them a try. What I didn't foresee was the day that sailcats and remoras would be all that fishermen are allowed to keep! And then that'll be gone once the commercial guys develop a market for them!Quote:

(edited to add) Here it is!
NOAA Fisheries announces that gray triggerfish recreational harvest will remain closed in the Gulf of Mexico for 2017, or until further notice. NOAA Fisheries has published a temporary rule modifying the gray triggerfish recreational annual catch target to zero pounds, and the annual catch limit to 19,987 pounds whole weight for 2017, due to an estimated 221,213-pound harvest overage during the 2016 recreational fishing season.

LOL
In all honesty, I just read my post, and I regret being ugly. There is not anyway that I can see me doing the work that the folks I disparage do. But I still want them to do more, better.
And to add NASA is fully funded.IMHO. GO NAVY.Thanks to all Veterans for there service. Without them we might not have an election to talk about or a pier to fish on. Who knows what language we would be speaking now. Let us not forget the men and women who gave all so we could have this right that we sometimes take for granted. God bless AMERICA.
That's a pretty good start!Quote:
