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.

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

anyway to get the recreational fishing alliance on board i would think they would help ? i hope the bill passes and other states take notice and follow suit , i would like to see something similiar for boston haba and quincy bay , although it has been a lot of years since i have seen a pogy boat up here it would be nice to nip it the bud before it happens agian
