The previous post may be a little extreme, but it does seem that in recent years the fisheries folks have gotten the issues backwards.
Herring have come back strong, and stripers appear to be in trouble
again. We need to fix both; namely, something like allowing maybe
5-10 herring a day to be dipped for bait (as opposed to the pre moratorium 25), while reducing the striper limit to one a day per person. That might get it about right.

What do you need all that bait for if you can't keep the stripers ? 
IMO bait fishing mortality is high

I meant it to be a little "over-the-top". (A bit of rye humor)
Thanks for picking up on that. |
I am a legend in my own mind!

Do the river herring some good and please consider --
Osprey cull anyone? Bow only. I'll write to the Rhode Island and Massachusetts Audubon and Nature Conservancy chapters. I'm sure they'll go for it once they see the size of my donation. Stand back ladies. This thing can block a stream.
Actually truth be told, I like ospreys. But with each year there seem to be more and more of them.
