I am new to this page, so I am sure this has been brought up in the past but DAMN IT lets be truthful would the human race be effected if our main food source was harvested for bait to catch us! HELL YES it would! I don't salt water fish very often but when I do I use frozen bait with some added ingredients SALT AND ?????FOOD COLORING????? and have had some very good days, last July/August I took a trip to Neah bay and had good luck with this technique, how about 2 hours of fishing and landing 10+ silvers (majority of them being native so they were released), but as there ever been any mention of herring hatcheries for sport fisherman? Does anyone share my views on this or am I exagerating on the issue?
