There's two different subjects in that letter...one about poachers/taking more then their share and in off selling days..hang these guys forshore.
the second is about a dotted line on a gps map...I agree that the eez should be done away with and so do many in the fisheries dept.I've talked to them on the sidelines at meetings when the crowd wasn't present.
here's alittle fyi for you.....between monnomoy and nantucket there's a one[1] mile dead zone[fed waters]anyone from chatham to hyannis that boats to nantucket has to run through it to fish around nantucket....so when they go to make the run home and have bass on board, again they have to go through the eez....the epo's sit there in wait..boom your caught for having bass in fed waters....this ally way is bs...should have been changed long ago just like cape cod bay is mapped out..ptown to boston or abit north...alot of people would be in deep chitts if ccb eez was 3 miles from land all along the inside of the bay....the center would be off limits to bass fishin or carrying any bass from sandwich/boston to ptown or back.
