The more I think about it, the more I think 10,000 might be a possible daily bunker kill, during the commercial season.
Maybe we should make livelining and chunking illegal?  |
I don't fish there too often to be honest.I do not know many comm. guys in MA either. I just know they don't all use pogies and not many comm guys chum.30 or 40 baits is enough to get out there and be effective. It is usually not a fleet out there the way you might envision it.Combine this with the amount of days you can actually fish commercially......
