Lack of bluefish disturbs me...

[JFigliuolo]

Not because I like getting my eels destroyed....

But I'm concerned that the decline of bass is occurring at the same time.

We all (well most of us) are thinking bass is being overfished and tighter regulations will help. But what about bluefish? I'm not seeing them being actively targeted, but there numbers are dropping in concert with the bass.

While I'm in favor of tightening the bass regs, I'm beginning to fear that it will not be enough to fix whatever is broken.

Just thinking out loud...
