Sorry, ILTF...my apologies.

The answer is yes, you can still snag pogies to your heart's content.

However, the fishery for menhaden and bunker is now closed.

Anyway, did you know that the name 'pogie' is derived from the Narragansett name poghaden, which actually means 'fertilizer' in their tongue.

It was Narragansett custom to bury a pogie or other similar baitfish at the base of corn plants to nourish and enrich the soil and thus ensure a bountiful harvest in the fall.

And the best fertilizer, as we all know, is pure and unadulterated...well, nevermind

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
