Menhaden gear regulation
 

It has been obvious through the years that Omega dictates policy with money to burn. They've been abusing the Bay for decades and should have been held accountable years ago. Recreational, guides and small commercial outfits pay the price instead. Continued abuse of the resource will effectively end fishing for all of us. Our Bay is essentially a nursery for fish and marine life across the Eastern Seaboard. It's time to listen to those who spend their lives and rely on the resource for their living. Or you could just keep lining your pockets and destroy it all. When that happens, all the money in the world won't fix a damned thing...
