The stripers you catch in the upper bay look scrawney and have skin sores because there is no bunker. Start to see a picture ? All of this is to protect Omega and approximately 60 employees and a couple of very wealthy owners. Unfortunately we never see the big picture until it is too late. We need the bait boats, we don't need the reduction fleets.

I saw the big bunker numbers in the bays past few years and figured the population was like that everywhere... I appreciate the explanation..bob
