that while reading the 1800's striper article published in this months OTW, that they lamented over the commercial netters taking menhadden and the affects it was having on the striper fishery. Here we are 100+ years later and what have we learned? People were putting 2 and 2 together as far as the 1800's and still we let the commercial netters wipe out an important fishery.
