Lets talk herring Vs our new breed of plug guy.

"Michael P. Armstrong, assistant director of Fisheries Biology for the Division of Marine Fisheries, said if the herring population continues to rebound, it’s likely the fishing ban will be lifted after next year. "

I enjoyed reading the comments about when I spoke about my quest to take an EDIBLE shark wile bowfishing. It was a well mannered debate.

Some people on here have started fishing after the ban and some new canal plug / jig fisherman were created because they have never seen a floating laundry basket. Do those of you who have been here PRE ban think we are better off because of the ban?

I will give my opinion to start. I am 35 years old and have been fishing the canal since I was 16 (I didn't grow up in a fishing family so I had to wait until I could take myself.) I honestly don't know if it has made a difference but I watched the decline and now I'm watching the rise again. I don't know if it means lift the ban.
