RFA-Florida Update Capt. Rick Hale, President bait48@yahoo.com Currently there are three strong subchapters operating in the state and we will be opening another one in the St. Augustine/Flagler area shortly. David Plummer will head up the new chapter and will be having a rally there on July 31 (see below). Since the formation of the new state board, membership has doubled in Florida. Since Florida is such a large state with numerous fisheries and often unique challenges facing them, the development of smaller regional subchapter groups has proven to be an important addition to our efforts in the Sunshine State. These subchapters will quickly be up and working as we educate the fishermen in each area who want to get involved with the RFA so we face the challenges and dangers involved with fisheries legislation and regulatory bodies. If someone who is reading this would like to form a chapter in their area, please contact me, Rick Hale, on our FaceBook page (RFA-Florida) or email me at bait48@yahoo.com
RFA-FL St. Augustine/Flagler Chapter Hello RFA family. I went to a meet and greet recently with our Candidate Ron Desantis. I spoke in depth with Ron and his wife Casey about our cause. He and Casey are fully behind us and very excited to receive our endorsement. They will be attending our rally at Shaughnessy's Sports Grill on Tuesday July 31st. He spoke to a crowd of farmers and outdoorsmen tonight at Molasses Junction in Elkton, Florida. I can tell you all he is a man of integrity and a true Patriot. Please tell all your angler friends that are tired of our rights being violated by the federal government to come to our rally on the 31st. St. Augustine and Flagler County needs your support. Meet and Greet starts @ 6:30 pm... We will see you there! If you want to join the St. Augustine/Flagler Chapter contact me, David Plummer, outbackmarine363@gmail.com.
