the jetty fishing for bass on pogies that's developed in Jersey in recent years is another example. it gets to easy and any idiot can go out there and kill their limit.
please note, i am not intending to criticize everyone fishing the bass on pogies. i am just pointing out that it makes the bass too concentrated and vulnerable. a surplus of pogies would be great if herring, sandeels, mackeral, lobster, crabs, etc. were managed and existed in equal levels of abundance.
