1st, the eels aren't born in the estuaries they are born in the open ocean and then they migrate inshore. 2nd, NJ no longer has an elever fishery, only two or three states do, NH and ME does and there may be one other. I don't have my notes handy. |

Armand,
If you're speaking this year at the RISAA show, perhaps this would be a good topic for consideration...

Armand,
Sent you an e-mail but it bounced. I'll be working the show for Nor'east Saltwater Magazine, so it would be easy for me say a few words. Thnigs will probably be clearer by then anyway. When are you speaking? If you prefer you can e-mail me at MakoMike3333@yahoo.com
