Herring not shad. At least no American Shad.

I thought we were discussing blue back herring?

Nope, the sal****er herring. There is a big fishery for herring in SF Bay.
But they have overfished it, and the take was dropping. The fisher's
proposed smaller mesh net, and the state was going to go along with them,
until a lawsuit was threatened. Would not have had enough escapee's to
spawn.

I'm a firm believer in protecting Herring, whether blue back or silver back
or pinkish back.
