I recall seeing an announcement a few weeks back that the current time frame/zone quota was filled?

That's what I also heard DZ but then I recently heard this--that the federal fishery service added quota from Area 2 and put it into Area 3, which is the area for RI Sound, BI Sound, etc. The boats can begin whenever the herring show up.
I'm not sure what is going on.

So the herring boats can collect as much as they can within the highly scientifically calculated harvest number made up by some government agency in charge of screwing up the fisheries industry, and yet even though we shore anglers have not been able to touch a herring since before Obama took office (the 1st time), we still can't touch them because their numbers are still too low.
When you have one particular industry that can decimate a species at will (yeah, that legit by-catch crap sounds real official) it makes you wonder if the agencies in charge really do have their own special agenda.
If the powers that be were truly concerned about the herring populations, they would be banning the harvest by ALL MEANS, not just the shore anglers that try to harvest the stragglers that made it through the fishing boat gauntlet.

While I don't disagree with the sentiment, they are targeting a different species... |

Very true, but I thought I read that many times the alewifes are amongst the sea herring schools and you end up netting them too which really sucks when you see people spend time to fix up herring runs and seeing to poor returns. |
