If you're being forced to attend this three-day dogfish and pony show - whether by kidnap, corporate mandate, bureaucratic expense account, or simply because you drew the short straw at your fishing club - be sure to bring along a few boards of Fish Buzz Bingo to add a little zip to this three-day circus!
"I've sat through enough of these events in the past 17 years to tell you honestly, it's going to get pretty frustrating, particularly with all the board room catch phrases and acronyms these speakers are going to toss around," said Donofrio. "Pass a Fish Buzz Bingo card to the guy at your left and right, and this whole useless government exercise will get a lot more exciting when you hear someone yell BINGO in the middle of a presentation on free markets, angling opportunity, barotrauma and capacity reduction."

What the hell is this - this is the way they talk? do they even fish?
The third Managing Our Nation's Fisheries conference is being held May 7-9, 2013 in Washington, DC. Conference organizers (NOAA) boast how the "conference follows up on the highly successful Managing Our Nation's Fisheries conferences held in 2003 and 2005," which means of course you can expect to hear much of the same boring, tedious and self-aggrandizing doublespeak presented at previous conferences where nothing was accomplished. Show sponsors like Pew Charitable Trusts and the Walton Family Foundation who helped rewrite the law to stop you from fishing (while simultaneously creating a network of ‘no access’ marine reserves around the world) almost guarantee that this dog and pony show - like the last two - will completely gloss over the debilitating loss of angler access and devastating economics impacts to our recreational fishing community. If you’re being forced to attend, whether at gunpoint, through mandates by bureaucratic bosses, or because you drew the short straw at your fishing club, be sure to bring along a few boards of Fish Buzz Bingo to add a little zip to this nonsensical three-day event!

Re: Obama Screws us again
It sounds like a convention of scientists. Do they even let fishermen participate anymore or is that just to have a token one or two at the meetings?
Re: Obama Screws us again
The PEW nutcases would be happy if we gave up fishing.

"The current administration does not want political activists like RFA representing our members at important fisheries meetings like HMS (Highly Migratory Species) or ICCAT (International Commission for the Conservation of AtlanticTunas), and they certainly don't want to hear our view about the present management of our coastal fisheries either," he added.
Donofrio and the RFA were longtime delegates at HMS and ICCAT representing the best interests of America's saltwater anglers. That all ended on inauguration day of 2009 when President Obama signed an executive order banning lobbyists from working on regulations directly related to any specific employer. Since RFA employs Donofrio who only lobbies in Washington DC on issues related exclusively to saltwater fisheries and recreational anglers, the Obama administration edict has ramifications that sometimes preclude RFA from working with certain committees that govern coastal fisheries.
"Let's just hope that the dozen or so congressional staffers attending this event will realize that they're being shuffled along through a stacked deck," Hutchinson said. "These are some of the wealthiest groups and individuals in the environmental industry hosting this event while simultaneously blocking all congressional efforts to provide relief to our hard-working, middle-class fishermen, it's really tragic."
"The President just made his top priorities known with his recent Commerce Secretary nomination, to grow the economy, create good middle-class jobs and to make sure that the next generation prospers, and current fishery policy which the ENGO's will be bragging about this week do not reconcile with those principles," Donofrio added.

This piece of crap president is our worst ever. He had one term to fix things and he failed. Did we look for better alternatives or vote him out? No we voted for him again. I didn't. Obama and the tree huggers behind him have no interest at all in fishing other than making sure there are less of us. Does anyone remember the pic of Osama fly fishing? that was totally staged the man never fished a day in his life except for the photo op.
If you notice he speaks proper english when addressing all the liberals and lawyers.
Then when he speaks to an audience of the brothers you see him trying to slip some ebonics term or something like that into it. Total elitist bs he no more represents the brothers than mussolini would have. His administration is made up of elitist libs who think they have divine guidance from God to lead us to the promised land. Depresses me every day I think about him. whats more depressing is we voted him in the 2nd time
