In the late 70s 80s a Russian fishing/processing fleet was operating off our shores.
now , menhaden/pogies are virtually wiped out.
(Our boys were out there catching and selling to the Russians all they could catch too....
and now they pay triple for those same fish to bait lobby traps with that were swimming onto shore there were so many before .....you can't fix it.
of course old playboy mags were worth vodka anytime too...skuh kuh kuh kuh)
Other species are affected as well , bluefish eat pogies etc. etc.
This last winter Shrimp were off limits for another year ,,, 3 or 4? IIRC .
I could go on and on...
IMO
Managment of fish and game and even trees are a necessary evil , ya know , to allow our kids to have a chance to screw it up too.
But this is the planet Greed after all... whadidya expect rubbaaaah biskiiit ?
