I have seen it in my lifetime, but fear will not again.
Used to go "Frost" Fishing with my Pop and Grand Dad, Whiting would come up in the surf chasing bait and get stunned by the cold air, we would scap them up with long handled nets.
Used to be able to catch Whiting at the Cedars on Sandy Hook.........
Foriegn Ship killed the fishery in the late 80's-90's, and our government let them do it. Has never rebounded in out area.
Used to catch what we called "Baseball Bats" and thats how big they were. You'd take 2 burlap bags of Fish to Roy's or LeRoy's on Rt 36 and they would smoke them for half the fish............
Just a memory now
