You can complain all you want, they are not going anywhere. There is no law against them being there. By not getting bait off the bunker boat all one would be doing is hurting themselves, it serves no purpose to deny yourself the bait. I saw it first hand this year and I think everyone who is everyone in the fishing business was lined up waiting to get there bait for the day...Its the same stuff everyone buys in the local shops to use as chunk bait.

I think certainly they "rape " the resource and I am not saying something should not be done, however I also have had many conversations with the RISAA president and the truth is ark bait does not even have to sit down and talk about it, they are protected beyond protected, The state acually has no control over it. The federal govenment does because its a migratory fish. Fact is the Pogie boat is here to stay like it or not, no harm in getting free bait........
