A commendable move. Touche to the folks in Middleboro/Lakeville.

at first one striper fisherman would say (another run shut down,,,what the F*&K,,)but its good for future fishing i guess, so i guess it will be herring fly patterns this year
There are offshore boats in "federal" waters that are harvesting non endangered atlantic herring. However, the river herring are a bycatch of the atlantic herring and those boats will be exempt from selling there bycatch of river herring to the markets. These boats are probably the biggest culprits of decline of the herring. The federal limits should be extended further out.
