well if they are closing off the runs, they should tell the russians in Gloucester harbor to take a hike and let all of them replenish. I just hate when its one thing for someone and something else for another.
my .02 is that there are some shortages. Behind my parents house there is a run and last year I only saw maybe a dozen fish. When I was a kid, thousands.........
I've got an idea,,, lets all just give up fishing for bass and take up sewing or knitting hehehehe,,, just kidding,,, either way,us fishermen are screwed,,, the fish stocks are declining no matter what we do about it! it sucks!
