I am not really well informed on this issue other than what I have read on the web about it, but I find it hard to believe that Ark Bait relies solely on the access to Narr. Bay for its long-term viability. I think they could survive just the same outside the bay. They would have to go outside the bay, though. Doesn't the boat move to other locations as the pogies move on? I come out of Allen's Harbor and have never personally seen the boat fishing. I have never gotten free bait from them either. I wonder why they take pictures of giving free bait away and if they would be giving this valuable resource away for free if they weren't taking pictures of everyone taking it. Maybe it serves them nicely to have pictures of them giving away free bait. I snag my own bait when it is available or use other bait if not available. I would never take the free bait to allow Ark to build their case for continuing in the bay. My opinion is that inside the bay should be rod/reel only for fin fish.
Just my opinion.
