Be careful. The CLA is not necessarily the friend of the recreational -- or tournament -- fisherman or boater. Jon Pski might be able to offer some more insight on the CLA.

I realize limiting tournaments is one theme running through this thread. However, you have to be careful about who does the limiting. You put that kind of power in the wrong hands (such as the CLA) and you don't know what you're going to get. Limiting fishermen's access is a dangerous thing in our small state, in my opinion.

From what I know, the CLA's interest is really with homeowners, not fishermen or the fish.
