SDL...Scott L? If that's you, I've been meaning to contact you about coordinating legislation for coastal populations and Santee system fish. I've heard you would be the best person within DNR to have a good perspective on both sides of the demarcation line. A couple of quick questions I have are 1) how do you know what numbers of fish exist in the system and 2) how do you know how much spawning activity is successful in the system? 3) How does lift passage affect the landlocked population, if at all? 4) Given the "year to year" nature of the spawning populations contribution to the total, wouldn't you prefer some kind of limited authority bill so annual adjustments could be made based on previous year's success. I'd love to push for some meaningful legislation, but would like to place my efforts behind sensible long term solutions and also protect self sustaining populations where possible. 10 fish limits in the ACE burns my ass everytime I breathe those words! Thanks again for the dialogue. With enough Q and A, we'll get the ball rolling. If you are Scott, I'd like to take you to lunch when you are at Ft. Johnson sometime.
