Auction to support MA game fish efforts
 |
|
Stripers Forever members - to help with the expenses we incur advocating for our Massachusetts game fish bill, as well as our general operating expenses, we are auctioning off the three great pieces of artwork described in this link to our website. Bidding instructions are on the sheets - (you'll see the current bid on the bottom) and email us your bid. We update the bids as rapidly as possible. Insured delivery is donated to SF, so there will be no shipping cost.
There will be a committee hearing for our MA game fish bill in January. Over 70,000 large, breeding size stripers die every year in MA, which has the largest commercial quota of any coastal state, and MA has been among the most zealous supporters of commercial fishing for striped bass at the ASMFC. Please support our efforts to have Massachusetts join the New England states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Connecticut in making striped bass a game fish.
If you would like to send a check of any amount to support our efforts to make striped bass a game fish – lobbyists and staff run to thousands of dollars a month – please send it to Stripers Forever - PO Box 2781, South Portland, ME 04116-2781
Thank you - Brad Burns
P.S. I would like to very quickly remind everyone that SF benefits from the efforts of a dedicated core of life-long fishermen who believe strongly in maintaining a high quality striped bass fishery for the fishing public to enjoy. We see commercial fishing and its effects on the management process as the greatest stumbling block to attaining that goal. Thousands of hours of effort and many thousands of dollars have been donated by these people, who receive no recognition or reward other than the conviction that when we are finally successful, the public will be one step closer to having the great striped bass fishery it deserves.
