first off i am not trying to put blame squarely on side or the other because both absolutely had there impact. but it is my understanding, corroberated by a few people, that the nasty got netted out by a handfull of netters in the late 80's. i dont know for fact if this is true or not, but having also seen the nets in there in the fall it wouldnt surprise me. i also know and realize that overharvest by sporties is a contributing factor. just what i have heard and not neccesarily set in stone fact. steve
