Change the law
Laws need to have a deterent effect and the deterent here clearly isn't enough. I think they should lose their license. This would really cut down on the illegal fishing.
I was out at Plum Island yesterday and this boat first anchors right on top of the fish I'm casting to and then throws the shorts he's catching into his chest. Side was to me so couldn't get the boat's name.
Clearly, for some, the penalties for illegal catching, as constituted, are inadequate.
