Keep your right to fish alive and attend the "Fight the MLPA" fundraising dinner at the Atrium Hotel in Irvine this Sunday (May 22) starting at 4:30 p.m. with cocktails. There will be a sit down dinner great prizes, raffle items and a silent auction and the grand lady of sportfishing, Ingrid Poole, will be honored. You can purchase tickets by calling UASC headquarters at (562) 494-9900. I just called at 6 p.m. Friday and there were four tickets left, so call quick. Plus you can always donate money if you can't make the dinner. This is our last chance.
