We used to have pogies in Maine. I remember late 80's we had massive killoff in the rivers due to them using up all the O2 and killing themselves. Then there were the Russians with their processing ship hanging off Harpswell. They'd hang out and send net boats out for weeks. Catching them all. It has never been the same. They are all gone now.. And the blues went with them. I used to catch blues that were 3-ft long. Now the blues should be looking over their shoulder for the mackerel to come and bite em in the butt.
