i'm with you zimmy; although i am happy that we will be able to use eels as bait, I can't help but wonder what impact and where the fishery is. hopefully there will be more comprehensive research so we aren't facing a disaster by the time any decision is made. I enjoy using eels but like the herring, i can deal without for some years if that can/will save the species.
