Bait shops for us and against us

[CowHunter]

RI is where Jersey was just 3-5 years ago...Fighting to get the out of state Party boats out. What happened, the bunker reduction boats were booted, and the NJ coast heas been getting some of the best fishing in the spring EVER experienced. Guys that have been fishing 20, 30, 40 years have never seen some of the runs that we have been having. thats both boat and beach. Shame on the Tackle shop owners who won't stand up because they are afraid they wont have a bait supply, or because they are worried that people will be able to get their own bait. That is the Fact. Funny thing is, most people werent even using bait of the surf and there were many, 30, 40, and 50lb bass caught on plugs. Googans were bangin' 30's and 40's. Many of these fish don't even make it up North, They stay with the bait...Question...Why do you think the fishing is spiraling downward every year from the cape to Watch Hill???

Just my Humble opinion
