Bait shops for us and against us

[JFigliuolo]

1. I see no problem w/publishing who is for or against the ban. If you are a shop owner and take a stand (in either direction) please have the conviction to stand behind it and deal with the repurcusions.

2. If this WAS a blacklist, which I don't think it was, THIS is not the place for it.

3. I don't give a flying f'all where bait shops will be getting there bait from IF Ark is kicked out. It is absolutely assinign(sp), to make a decision the ultimately effects the health of the bay based on the economics of a bait/tackle shop. Although I do realize $$$ talks.

4. If a void opens up regarding getting bait it will be filled. If there is $$$ in it I gaurentee someone will exploit it.

5. I'm sorry, I have no sympathy for commecial fishermen (most). I work w/ a reformed commercial dragger. The stories he tells make me ashamed to be a human being. I really have no reason the believe others are much different. Again, I am sure there are exceptions.

That was my point essentially, Mako Mike, these shops that are supposedly the bad guys are worried that they won't get bait but if the pogies were as thick as I have heard it shouldnt be too hard for anyone that is skilled with a thrownet to do a number on them. Like others have said basically the whole cape cod canal area tackle shops are supplied by two seperate one man operations. Both of these guys weapons of choice is the thrownet so it can and will be done.
