You will not be commenting on the petition October 11-12, at least for action to be taken. The Commission will merely receive the petition and punt it for action/consideration in December in San Diego (or later), if it is received by staff September 27, 5:00 PM or earlier.

You had better submit the petition ASAP before people jump the the gun and start sending emails that don't map to a submitted petition.

Size up and wear a rash guard underneath. Or switch to a dry suit.

Hopefully he was just sticking carp and didn't know any better.

Submitting a petition to the commission is a pretty easy/lightweight process. People submit petitions for all kinds of dumb stuff all the time (not saying your petition is dumb, just that any yahoo can and does submit all kinds of far-fetched shit practically monthly). You don't need any signatures. Just be succinct and point to a specific existing regulation with the change you want verbatim. Maybe you could get them to expand the shore/diver exemption to non-motorized craft or something like that. Surely divers kill more preggo lingcod and ancient rockfish than anyone.

Essentially what will happen is the commission will refer the proposal to the Department of Fish and Wildlife staff, and some biologist/law enforcement/other staff will look into how feasible the change is and recommend that the commission either grant or deny the petition. There is opportunity for public comment (e.g. everyone comes on and says it's a DEI issue since current regs shut out a lot of non-boat owners for much of the state for much of the year) but I don't think that carries much weight in reality--the commission will go with the department staff recommendation.

Anyone drive a 2010-14 Outback or 2014-15 Forester do DIY maintenance and want these? I got these while I still had a '13 Outback, but have no use for them anymore. $60 obo.

He'll be fine. Note that this is a Scupper Classic not a Scupper Pro. Scupper Pro is the superior model with better hatch design, seat well, foot molding, tracking, and maybe hull shape IIRC.

Why bother? It takes like 30 minutes and if you wait you will probably either be giving the IRS a free loan for an extra six months or owing an extra six months of penalty.
