So your opinion is let them net the pogies.They make no difference to how the fishing in the bay is and it will be too bad if Ark bait cuts a loss from losing access to our waters?Not sure bout how it effects the lobsterman myself .I'd hate to see any local Rhode Islanders(lobsterman) some how lose on the deal.I'm not a scientist or biologist.Just a Surf Fisherman so the way I look at it is if the large schools of menhaden are hanging in the bay then the fish that eat the menhaden will be in the bay also.So in return the fishing will be better.Schools will be bigger.Surf Fisherman will actually see more bait and more action.Rhode Island will retain it's great reputation as an awesome state to fish.I'd like to learn alot more about menhaden and the effect they have on lobsterman,the health of the bay,the foodchain,and the economy of our state.I follow the RISAA reports and read up on alot of the opinions on the menhaden.If you could shed some more light on this subject for myself and anyone else who may have been mislead by the hype I would appreciate it.I'm not Calling you out or second guessing your opinion I just want to know the same information you know regarding this issue.
