Starting Dec

Starting Dec. 12th many Charter boat operators and Recreational fisherman encountered problems with Menhaden boats out of Reedville, Va. crowding and trying to push people off of Rock fish and bait around the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Below are Names and address of people and organizations that you may voice you discontent to. Anyone having pictures or video of these confrontations please contact me at 757-285-4652 or via the e-mail link below. Your input in helping to create an organization to combat aggressive actions most of us have witnessed in the latter part of the season concerning the menhaden fleet will be most appreciated. Also at the bottom of this page I will try and add any articles and websites that may be of interest.
