There's something else that you should really consider.
That are of Cape Cod Bay is closed to "Fixed Gear Fishing". This means no lobster gear, gillnets or tub trawls - this was put into place so the whiting boats could work freely without getting fouled up.
If you go ahead with this lawsuit, the magistrate, or Paul Diodati himself could decide that anchoring up to commercially fish for tuna in this restricted zone is the equivalent of "fixed gear".
And if that happens, you're going to have a sh*tload of seriously pissed off tuna guys.
