Interesting editorial from Gene Bourque in OTW this month re: scientific data supporting the health of the Menhaden stock and anecdotal info. from anglers.
> Reference to an 1873 editorial in which the NY Fisheries Commissioners "expressed the fear that the unlimited taking of fish of all kinds, in all seasons...would result in a ruinous scarcity...."
Guess who disagreed (commercial fisherman), who continued to pull out drum fish at a record pace. Anyone come across a drum fish lately?????
