Lateral Line clothing has made its way south of the equator, but not yet to New Zealand. That all changed today when fly fishing angler McCain M. send in a picture of some wild looking fish he caught while fishing the north eastern coast of New Zealand this past week. The shirt looks bad ass with that wild looking fish. We also love the lid! Thanks for the picture McCain!

Oppose the two pound net requests coming before the Virgina Marine Resource Commission (VMRC). The prposed nets are located between Cape Henry and Lynnhaven Inlet (pictured to the left are the proposed pound nets.) There are already several existing pound nets in these areas. Not only should we not have more nets in the Chesapeake Bay, but these pound nets are a navigational hazard. The proposed nets are located in a high boat traffic area.
Consider sending a letter similar to the one below to Travelstead. This discussion is a heated topic on Tidalfish this week as some commercial angler has requested two more nets in addition to some already in the area between Lynnhaven and Cape Henry.
Let VMRC know how your feel. They want to know.

Dear Mr Travelstead,
I am opposed to additional pound nets that are being requested in the area in and around Lynnhaven Inlet towards Cape Henry. This is a safety issue for boaters in the area. Often there is high boat traffic before and after daylight and the present unmarked nets and poles are dangerous. The addition of two more nets will only make the conditions worse.
Please do what you can to prevent additional nets being permitted.
Thank you,
