These are a couple of nice fish! But look how skinny they are. There isn't a lot of bait in the water now, and it showing. I got some similarly "eel-like" fish this week on the Race.

I think the menhaden seiners are taking their toll. Some states are already passing some legislation to reduce the catch on pogies.

Glad you guys had a good day, but it would be nice to see some big, fat bellies on those babies.

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
