[edit] "Menhaden Boats"?

This is from a Los Anageles Times news article on the aftermath of Katrina: "In Empire, Arceneaux pulled his skiff up to an abandoned oil platform, a handy parking spot in the shadow of the Empire Bridge. Behind the platform, the two 170-foot "poggies" — menhaden boats— named "Sea Wolf" and "Sea Falcon" were resting across all four lanes of the bridge below mid-span. I came (naturally) to Wiki to find out what poggies are. Assuming that Menhaden Boats (a.k.a. poggies) are boats used to catch the subject of this Wiki article, should some mention of it be made on this page? 63.148.206.250 18:01, 8 September 2005 (UTC) (Kevin/Last1in editing from public terminal)
