Blackbacks are one of the many tasty losses due to mismanagement. Remember frost fishing? Then there’s river herring; they’re not only candy for stripers, ask anyone who's ever had a properly pickled buckeye -- they're better than a Cadbury egg.
Wolf eels, inshore goosefish, hake (I just bought some at $5 a pound at Dave’s Market), tinker mackerel, weakfish, bay scallops…all gone by the wayside due to poor management, not climate, not buzzards, eagles, osprey, or even big bird…it’s Miss and Mr. Piggy… that’s who’s to blame, especially when the regulators don’t regulate in time.
