surfcasting in South County was horrible this year because of an abundance of adult menhaden in the bay. be careful what you wish for.

Im excited to see this bill passed. I could only see the fishing improving. |

It will only improve fishing where the menhaden chose to be, and in most cases those places are not your classic surf fishing spots.
you guys can call me a whacko if you like, during the elections you all called spence and i whackos when we voiced our concerns about Bush...
The only people that are truly going to benefit from more pogies are the people with boats, (99% of the commercial bass fishermen) or those shore fishermen who are lucky enough to know where the pogies are close to shore.
thats all i got to say |

well you are wrong about that.
All of us will benefit from protecting pogies
they keep the ocean alive and provide the high calorie meals large stripers need to grow large faster giving all of us a chance a fatter fish and a healthier ocean.
Good job RISSA I hope it passes.
maybe someday soon, they large schools that once made their way north will be even more abundant. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

methinks you've worn that soapbox out 
more pogies= more and bigger fish, back in my pinhooking days schools of pogies were everywhere and BIG FAT stripers were abundant. last season 40' fish were going 20-25#..back then these fish were all over 30#. ....hey it's all bush's fault  |

I know there were many schools of pogies in both Salt Pond and Charlestown Pond last season along with herring and hickory shad. Hopefully with greater numbers of menhaden not being sucked up in the Bay, their distribution will become more widespread. It was like that back in the eighties when schools of mehaden roamed the South Shore and the breachways. I remember the channel at Galille being  so packed with pogies that the old paper machine would be black from top to bottom.
The corilation between this subject and Bush, however, somehow escapes me. But hey, I can't handle the hot sauce either!!!
Catch'em up,

On this TT I agree with you, all that aside, the bunker boat was in the bay last year and the fishing was still tremendous!There were still plenty of pogies, thats two years in a row now. If this passes it benifits everyone.

Trust me on this ..
It is good to protect the pogies..
Write ur local representatives in support of this bill.
A list should be compiled an listed..
Large fishing groups an organizations should be herd from..
They listen to the votes..make it known u fish an u vote..

Hope it passes.
Now were talking . If you protect the bait the bass will survive. It's all about the habitat and the bait. FishHawk

I agree, the bait should be protected. I also agree w/Eben though. The Surfacster will see little short term benefit (most likely detriment) as the fish last year were on the pogies in the bay.
