Hey, i hope i am wrong, and of course the abundance of pogies will benefit the fish thats a givin. what i am saying is that it will CHANGE the way we fish. spots that were good before pogies might not be good with pogies.

Ya kind of like the Cape, spots that were once good for sandeels are now loaded with seals , they don't fish the same

I get the picture

You gentlemen know more about this than I do, but let me ask a stupid question. Aren't these same fishing boats going catch the same numbers of menhaden BEFORE they enter the bay? This might make it more difficult but I'm sure they're still going get there fish.

Interesting point... Though I'm not sure Ark will have its spotter plane out hearding the school before it enters the bay... And while they might get some they would not be able to purse the menhaden up into the bay...
