The big problem was high grading , where they were throwing back small fish so they could keep 200 big ones. I think the new regs will help with that. I think I remember seeing a video or a comment where one of the charters vented a few fish and they swam off. That p!ssed me off big time
I have a lot of respect for anyone who fishes for a living , don't take my comments here otherwise. The high grading and the stuff the Omega Protein guys have done is taking it way too far though. I read something the other day saying that Menhaden populations were at around 10-15 of their historic levels on the east coast. No wonder we don't see big schools anymore
