Pogy=Striper Candy. Same with eels.
No doubt the netters are changing our fisheries for the bad. They are up here so close to the beaches. They're even weaving in and around the boat moorings netting in areas they are restricted from. Instead of trying to regulate our fish, we need them to regulate our bait. Like they've done in the mid-Atlantic states. Regulate the bait and the fish will take care of themselves.
Whenever I see them netting in areas they are not supposed to be in, I drop a dime to the DMF. I'm not sure how much good it does, but I feel better doing it.

Lets get joe going on a state vote to ban all seine netting of pogies and sea herring as well in mass waters,i am sure we could get a quick 10,000 signatures by every fisherman in mass and stop this crap by next yr. Have joe check into it we could get so many votes so damn fast it could be epic. NY,NJ and Conn have it and are having a banner yr for pogies and monster bass.

You know, it makes you wonder....after they ban all recreational fishing and give catch shares only to the commercial fishers, who will they blame when the netters vacuum the ocean clean of all fish, trash as well as game.

(Must be those tea party conservatives along with the NRA.... They seceretly used their massive rowboat fleet to take all the ocean's fish. I know, we'll just tax them on the fish they aren't catching)

If they're going to charge us a license fee, they need to have better restrictions and keep the draggers more than 300 yards off the beaches.
