Ryan,
I fish to catch and I will catch more fish with bait (#1 eggs, then shrimp, prawns, herring etc..) than with flies or hardware. I haven't heard you ***** about the herring runs that are declining in which feed our fish at sea..
Reality is they are netting for "fish", and the eggs are surplus.. Would you be happy if they only netted the bucks..
I don't want to support netting but reality is they do it, and I'll take any surplus fresh eggs that are available to the public.
By the way in what year did we have runs that are better than this last years return. Them gillnetters sure got them all didn't they...
No offense ryan...
Keith
