I’ve always speculated that having ARC bait remove the massive menhaden schools from the cozy confines of Narragansett Bay is more than likely very beneficial to the striped bass population. Menhaden make bass easy targets. To me if you’re going to have a Menhaden Management Area where the take of menhaden is restricted then no one including recreational fishermen should be permitted to use and/or take menhaden in that area.
