You are probably right... but how can you be sure there is a big difference in the overall impact between comms and recs? There are alot of boats out there snagging a couple dozen at a time several times a week for months. I hear the same argument about the rec vs comm. striper catch. The data indicates that recs dramatically out-harvest the comms. with bass.

Zimmy:
Point well taken. But, I still don't think the rec bass guys or the comm bass guys will make a dent in the Pogie population compared to what the ARK bait boats and their spotter planes do. We are talking tons as opposed to pounds of pogies harvested.
