I HAS PUT restrictions on taking them . & now you need a license .
most guys use to get them for eels bait .but eeling is like 5% of what it use to be .
I knew guys that sold them to Blount & then got the back from him .because they didn,t have enough room to hold them .
use to >25 a piece & on good nights it was possible to get 600 - 800 .
there was dragger in Warwick Cove that all he fished for & all went to the Woods Hole lab .
now I,m lucky if I get 25 a year on my rakes ……...before ,around the moon they were constantly messing you up from digging .getting caught on the teeth or in the basket .
I’ve seen multiple totes stacked at a local landing,,, I believe the conch pot guys buy them,,, my pots are loaded with conchs,,, I’ve had conch chowder and liked it,,, I should try and make some,,, any recipes out there?
