OPINION: Add voice for flexible fishing reform
|
|
I wanted to share with you my
experience Feb. 24, when I took a memorable bus trip to Washington,
D.C. Fifty-five of us (80 percent from Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach
and the Little River area) met at Ocean Isle Fishing Center at 3:30
a.m. to begin our journey. The bus left Ocean Isle at 4:15 a.m. with
us, our pickets, signs and props. We arrived in D.C. about 11:30 a.m.
and could see the stage and large banner set up on the lawn in front of
our nation's capitol. Fishermen and ladies were pouring in from every
direction.
