Bait shops for us and against us

Since when is publishing information holding someone hostage? People are free to decide for themselves. I applaud RISAA volunteers for getting this information. Shame on those that want this information hidden to protect their own vested interest - in typical Rhode Island fashion.

Frankly, I think these shops are being short sighted. It's only fresh bunker that won't be available. Frozen will be. More bass available in the bay for longer periods should help these shops. More people fish when there is word of a good bite, not based on the bait available in the shops.

I wonder what some of these shops did before Ark Bait started raping the bay of all the pogies?

I disagree, bait shops make most of there profits from bait. Big ticket items such as rods and reels have a very small mark up. Look at it from their point of view. And to say that these tackle shops are "Against Us" is ridiculous. Sounds more like you are after the bait shops then attempting to get the bill passed.

Nothing's as simple as "You're either with us, or against us."
You start dealing in absolutes and you're on your way to extremism.
