wam / bam .. TU thunder Gods . all of a sudden ................... they decide its time to clamp down on the illegal netting in Maryland .......which they knew about for years /
At approx. the same time / they addressed the draggers .slamming the breeders off Virginia .......which has been going on since they were found / add the XL charter & rec fleet that is also hitting the same pot of gold .
But it should be of no surprize / think about who is doing it & have been doing it for years ......
Its the saltwater verson on running moonshine .................................. everyone in all levels of the state & some nationial were aware of it ..... but @ the right price ... just drive a different road .
