I have done further research, and what is being caught in Newport is not Blueback Herring they are Sea or Atlantic Herring which are legal. Blues resemble and alewife and what I saw being caught would never be confused with an alewife.
Thank you! I go squiding mostly for the bait but also enjoy eating them! If they are not co-operating (hope it is not as like last year!)then I have no problems taking other "bait". I do not wish to open another "bitch line", poaching is bad for us all, but how are they caught? I have sanged many a bunker but feel these are different but do not know.
