I don’t want this to turn into a “thing”, however the herring were decimated by the commercial fleet for lobster bait. Now, since the herring is closed, they have set their sights on bunker. They, given the opportunity will decimate their population also. Some of the earliest fishing I did with my children was herring fishing in shark river. We would go in late Jan or early Feb to break up the monotony. Catch a few on light tackle and provide them to eager fellow fisherman. That fishery is gone, not due to the recreational fishermen….sound familiar ?
