Bait shops for us and against us

[slow eddie]

we need the pogies just to clean up the bay, never mind bait. i used to own a bait shop and i could get all the pogies i wanted from the 1man boats. they were no where my top 3 sellers as far as bait was concerned. eels, worms, then crabs. we have let the bay become a sewer. ther is no eelgrass left. 40 years ago, i go fishing in any of the upper bay hot spots and it would be loaded with grass. no more. let the pogies do the work that we should be doing. namely, filtering the bay water. just my 2 cents.
