CAL,

With all due respect, I did not understand your point regarding the Weymouth run.

The few days that the limit was cut back to 6 were because ther were only so many fish in the pool and the assistant wardens were doing there best to make sure that as many persons could get some Herring as possible.

My fishing club (MSBA) cleans that run every year. I know the Warden and the three assistant wardens personally. I think that run is managed very well.

Many of us are forgetting that last Spring the weather was very cold and poor. At the Weymouth run there were plenty of herring. The problem was that the open times mid day were for the most part cloudy and cold. The majority of the fish were moving right before sunset when the sun hit the run directly raising the water temps.

I know that there are problems with other runs but I guess I just wanted to defend the weymouth run.

Also, I wil acknowledge that I cause Herring problems for others. I had permits for 5 runs last year. We all should probably only have a permit for one.

thanks for making me think
