PLAY FISH BUZZ BINGO!!!

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!
