DZ's first question:
"Should local anglers be asking for and accepting live pogies from these boats on one hand while at the same time trying to ban these same boats from taking pogies from Narragansett bay?"
My answer is .....NO
DZ's second question:
How do you feel about this issue?
My answer:
Let's clarify the isuues raised in the thread once and for all.
Is and where is the ban?
Is RISSA for or against this?
I do not know enough about the commercial end of this and certainly do not want to ruin anyone's ability to make a living but remember what Striper1 just said:
"that has seen the Donna Mae a "pogie Boat" clean out our Quincy Bay of POGIES about 10 years back......
I am just starting to see adult pogies up this way the last few years"
So, my feeling is don't rape it dry and manage it properly. I would like to hear what Captain Don from Captain Don's Bait and Tackle has to say about this. I respect his knowledge of the fishery in general.
Thanks DZ you bring up another great discussion.
Good points #^^^^^^& but women were never going to be allowed to vote either. Not arguing with you just saying "never say never."
