Dear governor Newsom and carb,
My name is Michael Garcia, I'm 32 years old and I grew up in
southern California. Along with all the beauty, entertainment and
amazing restaurants this beautiful state has to offer, 1 thing has
always been tied into it all, sport fishing. I grew up on countless
stories about so many different boats, their crews and the people
that love being out on the big blue sea. Sport fishing is more than
just catching some fish, it's a lifestyle and for alot of people
it's how they put food on their table, clothes on their families
backs and a roof over their families heads. Majority of people that
go fishing can hardly afford to pay for their trips, but they love
being out there. 
Alot of these boat owners are just everyday people who work to keep
their business going. This new bill would devastate the sport
fishing community, the prices for the boat owners would go way up
and for some owners that operate their own boat nearly 7 days a
week would not be able to afford the prices this new bill would
bring on them. California's sport fishing isn't luxury
entertainment, it's a major part of California's community that is
at risk because of this new bill.
