Conservation Crossfire/Fisheries IssuesA place for everyone interested in fisheries discussion from a regulatory/political standpoint. The laws surrounding fishing and our fisheries are changing, and this is the place to learn about changes on the horizon. Please keep it civil. We can disagree with one another, without becoming disagreeable.
As it stands today, EGB is one of the most prolific bays on the coast not only for sport fishermen but also commercial shrimping,crabbing, and oystering. After closing of ROP, look for lilly pads, mudcats, carp,etc. in the upper end. The marine environment will definitely take a bad hit.
Actually, from what I understand East Bay isn't in nearly as good of shape as it should be and Rollover Pass is a prime problem.
