Wow this went from a sturgeon being caught in oneida to landlocks and smelt and saw bellies all over....? And pretty sure sea monkey wasn't old enough for the 70's....
i don't remember the 70's
my opinion is simple ...their stocked stock more of them and let people fish for them ......what good are they and why waste the money if sportsmen can't enjoy them ?
Wow, I guess our forage isn’t as abundant, or they just don’t do well feeding on the Alewives that have been displacing the smelt.
You can enjoy them on a catch and release only not a fillet and release that's all. I know we all prefer the fillet and release method but until they have a healthy population or they stock more we aren't going to be able to do that
