From what I understand the meeting is July 24th. I will be there. I urge everyone else who loves surf fishing, float tubing, & kayak fishing inshore to attend as well.

It seems rediculous to me to impose a no fishing zone in that cove. It is definetely not overfished. From Campus Point to Coal Oil Point makes a little more sense because of some of the things they mention such as the reef off of Isla Vista, etc. But from Goleta Pier to Coal Oil Point - that's just pitiful. I'm just hoping that together we can maybe get them to re-think the plans for that one small area. It is the only area in their entire plan that calls for no fishing whatsoever.

In the grand scheme of things it seems like a very small area to ask for. This is why I tend to think there might be hope.

I've been fishing that cove since the mid-80s and can't imagine not being able to take my son there in the future.
