black salties-cannot ship to ri

[CaptDom]

exactly, vested interest, imagine that. Thats not steeped in sarcasm, as are prior comments? Maybe I misunderstood you and if the case, I apologize.

As to facts, thats all I have stated and have cited the places and people I got them from. I have obviously read all your posts, and gather that you have some inherent problem or concern with these baits. Again, maybe I misunderstood or misinterpreted your opinions?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

When that's the most important thing everything else suffers.Enjoy your money.Black $alties$.

[CaptDom]

Never said $$ was the most important thing, as I would like to see a healthier environment, and would like to have a readily available bait as well for my clients to enjoy a better catch rate. That would make me and them happy. I certainly need money, especially since fuel prices and troubled fish stocks have cut into my livelihood quite a bit in recent years. I did my homework and got lucky enough to get into a venture at the ground level, and I hope it gets approval, for numerous reasons, including money. Why else does one go into business?
I guess my impressions of your problem with me were on the money, pun intended there . I am sorry if you think money is a problem, but I am a young guy with not much net worth, and would like to increase that. I also would like to see fish stocks rebound, and that includes herring, menhaden, and eels, which I feel this fish would help in that vein. Hope you have a good season basswipe, with or without Black Salties as your bait.

In the end its all cool Dom.

What it comes down to is we all want to fish.

I guess for me its easy...all I do is throw plugs.

[CaptDom]

You a night owl like me too, I guess. You got it right there, with the fishing part. Maybe you could come up with the black salty imitator plug, and make money for you too The upper bay is filling in with bigger fish, and this weather along with my week long dealings with the government channels has gotten me overly anxious. Just frustrated because I thought I had done all necessary things to stay above the radar and within responsible parameters. I know you are just concerned with the environment, as all fisherman are to varying extent. Again, have a great season, hope you catch em up!

Lots of good info in here. I've been watching what is going to happen with these for 2 years now. It'll be interesting since to some degree I do think having this bait available will take needed pressure off herring, eels, etc.. as Capt suggests.

So Capt Dom, please keep posting updates. And of course anyone else with an opinion should also....
