Omega 3
I had a little insomnia last night, and watched a segment of a show that might hold some interest to you. We know how the menhaden fishery has been depleted by commercial fishermen supplying a demand for omega 3 fatty acids, right? Guess what, there is a cheap and plentiful agricultural source for omega 3 fatty acids- flaxseed. I haven't had time to run a comprehensve search on the matter, but by way of background, look at www.karmanos.org/answers/...xseed.html According to the show I saw last night, flaxseed actually contains more of this nutrient than the fish based products. So at least as far as the pet food industry and vitimin supplement industries are concerned, there does appear to be an alternative to menhaden products. Just thought you might like to know.
Very interesting and confirmed my belief that there is usually more than one way to accomplish something. So should I just give Omega a call and say enough is enough . It will take state fishery legislation up and down their range to keep their boats out of the coastal waters, or a complete collapse of the stocks. Then they will just target something else for a while, until the stocks rebound again.
You still open for Thursday? I'm still hoping to get my plate cleaned off enough to get down to the river. Give me a call tomorrow in the office.
Thursday
I think I'm good to go on Thursday. I'll try to pick up a Connecticut season license tomorrow, unless you would prefer to check out some other open water for a change of pace. I'll call you tomorrow.
Re: Thursday
The other guy coming with me, will probably need a license as well, but we will drive straight to the Fish Connection and then to the ramp. Not sure on the time yet, because I want to get a better handle on the weather forecast today. I will post a time tonight.
Re: Thursday
Like a summer morning, hard to believe it's still February. Leaving at 7:30 Drew, which will put us down there around 9:30 after stopping for his license.
Just replied to you in the Mycoolfish post.
Omega 3 is just as prolific if not more so in flaxseed oil. I heard that too as i take loads of it as I have MS and it is recommended. Tastes crap though!
