Menhaden Bill introduced

[thortum]

This is a very interesting & hot discussion, but bill #5165 just concerns itself with the menhedon once they get into the bay. Is that enough? A healthy bait population means a healthy preditor population [i.e. bass]. It's a nice start, what about the bait along the rest of the coast? What shape are they in? I love reading the everyones opinions. Thanks.

I'm still amazed that people can't see the overall good in this....... afraid of killing too many cows?? how about, now every fish can eat like a cow, and grow up fat and healthy!!?!!! and fluke and albies will have peanuts to eat, and the water quality can improve.............

last year in CT we saw bunker in places we never dreamedof catching them- and big bass were right in there with them. yeah, we had to adapt- we moved off the same ol' rock that gave up fish for the last 15 years- so what?? made it more exciting that way anyhow- and still didn't have to liveline a single bunker all season to catch a fish; they ate big wood just fine.
