"Where ya been man!!! There are no pogies....Name for us three perse (sic) seiners that you know that are fishing for pogies."
"
Omega Protein is the world's largest manufacturer of heart-healthy fish oils containing Omega-3 fatty acids for human consumption, as well as specialty fish meals and fish oil used as value-added ingredients in aquaculture, swine and other livestock feeds. Omega Protein makes its products from menhaden, an Omega-3 rich fish that is not utilized for seafood, but which is abundantly available along the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Coasts."
"The Company utilizes a fleet of fishing vessels supported by spotter aircraft to supply menhaden to its four processing facilities in Louisiana, Mississippi and Virginia. We provide more than 1,000 jobs in the states where we operate. "
Well, it appears that somebody's seining pogies down South - so there's one, lemme come up with a coupla more...
Wait, Ark Bait up this way...there's two. Whaddya think, there might be at least a couple more between Virginia and Maine? Possible, huh?
"You must be kidding about a 36" size limit. Don't you remember we had a 36" limit that you the recreational fisherman wanted lowered."
Yeah, I'm a rec but I assume you're using the editorial "you", Fly Rod, since I don't recall personally supporting anything to lower the size limit. I have a lot of friends who are comms and I
don't - and never would - support making striped bass a game fish coastwide.
Like Ed said, it's a shared resource and it should be shared equitably.
So if you want to ensure a healthy fishery for ALL of us, screw the whales, SAVE THE POGIES!!!!!
