What the f*** is going to be the next clearly pro-commercial bullshit cave-in from the grouper & snapper advisory council? Part of my sales route takes me up into Geiger's home territory, Sebastian FL. I arrange my lunchtimes so I can go into the local tackle stores and shoot the s*** with the owners. As soon as I start on about the bullshit SAFMC snowie and tile regs, I don't even have to mention Geiger's name but the owner's invariably do. To a man they all say, "If Geiger had his way, all recreational fishing would be catch & release. And yet he still says loudly that commercials need to be able to make a living." These are guys in tackle stores from Melbourne to Vero Beach. THese guys all know him and know him well.
I think Geiger should be booted off the SAFMC as a recreational representative when he so clearly, and fraudulently, is mis-representing recreational interests and is clearly representing commercial and eco-fascist interests. Let him rejoin SAFMC as what he truly is, pro-commercial or pro-ecofascist. But Mr. Geiger, PLEASE don't piss on my back and tell me it's rainin'!
