re: Pogy boats dumped 850,000 fish off Louisiana coast

Put it into a perspective you can understand…if someone decided that rice and acorn oil was the next cure all or filler for some type of feed, companies flock to N LA and harvested every grain or every acorn and in the mean time their bycatch (deer, ducks, squirrels, rabbits, turkeys) were left to rot in the woods…then would you care? That’s what we are dealing with by allowing the pogey industry to operate as it does now. All the while the “studies” show a decline in mature breeding populations and the blame is falling on the recreational fishermen via proposed smaller limits and more constricted slot sizes
