I live at the mouth of Cockrell Creek in Reedville Va. I see the Omega boats go out from my location. In the past the season ended at the end of August maybe the first of September because they hit there quota for the year. Now they have more boats and are running full time all they way into November so they are definitely over fished.  Also in the spring and summer some of the boats were only gone about a day or so, so you know they are not going out past the CBBT to get menhaden but getting them in the bay area.

Also we had Osprey nests with baby Osprey on most channel markers and several covered docks. Some of the nest are still present but we don't see any Osprey anymore living in these nests. Osprey food supply is Menhaden and these are now gone in our area. Use to see swarms of menhaden if front of my house but rarely see them any more. 

We need to go back to put limits on the amount of menhaden Omega Protein can take from the bay. They are destroying the ecosystem of the bay.
