john, there were maybe 10 recs all told. most of the guys were comm with Arc bait and the gill netters heavily represented.

The Rec Stripers will stay at 2 fish 28" with vitually no discussion.

they could have saved their energy, I'd bet 20 pogies dont show up in the bay this year. The population has declined the last 3 years or so and the lack of peanuts has been drastic. I'm not blaming the commerical/bait nets or anyone, it may just be cyclical, but I think we're nearing the bottom of the cycle and pogies will once again become of part of bay striper lore - "man, you should have seen the bunker back in 2003-2009. Those were the days"

Just my 2 cents. Kudos to you guys for attending the meeting.
