ok,, not wanting to start a flame war here.
but anyone else think this total herring ban is gunna work?
lemmie just say a few things first.
there's no herring down south,, the cape,, etc.. right?
up north there's thousands.
i live 1/4 mile from the ***** runs, yes runs, there's more than a few.
and i see no shortage of herring what-so-ever.
i'm there, three-four times a day watchin'
lookin for the little critters. even down river to the locks,, they come bye the thousands, maybe tens of thousands..
sure,, you go at noon on a bright sunny day they aren't there..but come quiet time it's astounding.
i took over 600 last spring...wait a minute... they were ALL legal.. 25 fish per person, per open day.mon. wed. fri. sat. x2 guys you get the picture..and i know guys
{some from this site} who took many more than me..before you go saying i'm a reason for the problem. lemmie say i been going there for 10 years and it's the same thing every year. so,,, our impact has not had an effect on our runs..
they come, they spawn, and they come back like clockwork.
even with some,, uhh,,"non fishermen",,,, taking trashbags/coolers full
how is closing MY run gunna bring back the herring to the cape? or rhode island?
these fish return to the same river to spawn right?
there is no ladder at my run. it fell down some years ago. it's the end of the line..maybe someone could help me/guide me the right button to push to get a ladder put in?
i think?
one of the problems down south,, for example,, is they give you something like 11 fish that the warden scoops outta the ladders for you? right?
why take the strong, willing {horney} fish outta the ladders?
lastly,,why not transplant my pregnant fish down south?
trust me it ain't that hard to make baby herring,, anyone with a backyard pond can get herring to re-produce
i released more babys than i took.
i fish live bait. and i'm gunna need a reality check come spring.
