You guys have a serious Problem with the bait and it WILL Keep getting worse... In NJ this year we had the Pogie boats, Arc Bait and Several boats from NC in our waters... What does that say? New England is getting wiped out and so is the south.... The Boats were kicked out a few years ago to limit them .6 miles offshore. Wish that was enough because this year they made it up this way and wiped out all the bait that was normally hanging .6 toa few miles out. It got really ugly here. just look at all the threads "Bunker wars" on some of the other boards. Well I can say, although the damage was done with pogies and pitch forking dead bass, rest assured those boats will not be allowed in state waters next year.... All the Charter Boats and rec guys banded together and did something about it! The sit back, watch, do nothing but bitch about it attitude did alot of damage up in new england, first herring and now pogies.... It will get worse, along with the fishing, most impacted will be the surf guys since those pogies gravitate to harbors, rivers. When they pour in and pour out what is waiting? Just look at the surf catches of NJ and Long Island the last few years... In the late 90's early 2000's it was horrible, now look at it... Fix The bait!!
