Last time I fished the Cape, there were Spiney Dogfish from the top of the water columm all the way to the bottom, for acres.

There isn't a reasonable fisherman alive that thinks these fish are in peril.

In fact, the opposite is clearly true. They are invading the Northeast in #'s not seen before.


Perhaps NOAA did a troll one day and the fish weren't there, but a mile in another direction. The troll yielded few fish = FISH IN PERIL !!!
