Ok its been about a year since the Skyway petition was started over at pierfishingguide.com and its still just sitting there. What a waste of time, except to maybe drive traffic to that site. I do not know Josh and do not frequent his forum. He may have the best intentions, but the signatures being added is minimal. So, "Do Something with the Skyway Petition"

I agree John. I know that originally Josh wanted or at least hoped to get about 2,000 signatures. He himself stated that it could take 12 months or so. I know there are about 791 signatures on it currently. I will PM Josh and see what's going on. I know Josh and you can rest assured that his intentions were good. At least he did something besides bitch about the situation and wait for someone else to come up with an idea. Many folks on here have been trying to come up with a solution as well. Seems like they all have good intentions.

There would have been more signatures if he would have included any details of what the petition would say and what it would be used for. He was asked to include some language so people would know what they were signing, but he wouldn't do it. I remember many comments on the Capmel site asking exactly that and without it they would not sign it.
Its his petition, so he can do with it what he wants. My opinion is that the longer this goes, the less chance there is to do anything with it.

You know what they say Havetofish, “ignorance is bliss” It’s usually the folks that know nothing of what they speak of, that look like complete fools. I know this is an old thread and I don’t know why I am wasting my time to explain anything to you but here it goes. The idea of the petition was not to get traffic to my site, if that were the case I would have made it where you needed to signup to my forum to sign the petition. I’ve been fishing the piers every bit of 15 years. I have many fond memories with great friendship and camaraderie that have left lasting impressions.
The goal was to get 2000 signatures because a petition is about numbers (in case you didn’t know). I have written to many officials and submitted the petition along with my concerns. Has it yielded anything? I don’t know, the responses have been brief with limited feedback. Does it help to show people love the piers and that they are a major tourist attraction? Of course it does and that is what the petition along with my letters has done. So the next time you think you know someones character, why don’t you learn something about them before you go trying to slander their reputation or name!
