Maine is a problem. My neighbor, LT. Bob Chaucey, MA. EPO, has benn arresting Mainers' who come each year to the upper cape and set nets in the runs ( they run the same rivers as herring) and caught many of these guys doing overnight surveilance. He had a couple guys a few years back who were renting a cottage in Falmouth and had the tanks in the cottage so no one could see them. They had a large quantity of elvers.
The sportfishing guys in Maine are so radical about Striper protection and such why is there no one up there concerned about this?
If the American eel goes on the Protected Species list I and you all will probably never be able to use one again in our lifetimes.
No harvesting of herring ( which is way overdue and fine with me and I figure will be more like 6 to 7 years. But the eels will be hard to get back off the list once on, if ever they get off.

Flap,
One of the two people who petitioned for adding eel to endangered species is from Maine - the other from Mass.
They've done their homework. More info on this website:
http://www.glooskapandthefrog.org/ESA%20petition.htm
Also check out US F&W website about the study.

As I said last night at the meeting, under the WTO rules we cannot stop the export of eels unless they are given either endangered or threatened status. I don't like the glass eel fishery even a little, but, again as I said last night, when it takes 100,000 elvers to produce one spwan ready silver eel, its hard to argue against ltting them take some. I didn't understand the guys comment that eel farmers wouldn't be affected, they are the ones that buy the elvers, if there is no elver fishery there is no eel farming.

Hey #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, you ought not to pass judgement on a person without meeting or at least having a talk with them. Weather permitting, I will be codfishing out of Green Harbor a couple days a week for the rest of the winter. Drop me a line and come on down, we can talk it over while catching fish. Otherwise please give the PETA crap a rest.
