I have been fishing in the bay for 12 years now. The last two years there have been very Difficult for recreational fisherman. I have never seen so few recreational boats on the water as this year. Very few days of catching.

rockfish have been entering the Bay later and later And in smaller numbers.

there are notably, fewer birds on the water.

I don’t think it takes an environmental scientist to link causation to lack of bait.

I believe the Chesapeake Bay is the only estuary in the country that allows harvesting of Menhaden?

I support omega’s right to fish the ocean. NOT the bay.

let’s use some common sense here.
