BOCA RATON —
After a flurry of interest from anglers, the Boca Raton City Council postponed a decision on a proposed ban on shark fishing from city beaches.
The council opted to send the measure to the Marine Advisory Board for review before hearing comment from the public.
The city received about 10 e-mails Tuesday from concerned anglers opposing the measure, said Mike Woika, assistant city manager.

I'm definetly glad we our making our mark on this turf, if we stay silent they will roll us over with no resistance, but if we get our voice heard by the right people at teh right time then we can stop the banning of some of our favorite spots and possibly even get funds for a couple of new spots that are shark fishermen friendly, like a new pier with less harsh rules on reel sizes.
Just an average fisherman.

I agree..I just wonder who the right people or person is, all I know is the right time is ASAP. I wonder if there is somebody out there on top of the food chain that we can get in our corner who can put a stop to the nonsense.
