New Englands worst herring year

Must be the commercial fishermen. Every river and spring herring area I know of is closed to herring. And they are still dropping in numbers. Sharks and whales can only eat so much herring. jmo

I agree with fin,they are being decimated not by us fishermen but,by being bycatch.
we were the first to blame and the first to be banned from using them as bait,those of us that fish bait btw.
it's easy to say we did it.
now what do they say is doing it?
