comm shore VS comm Boat

[wdmso]

Just got back from lunch down the cape stopped by the fish pier which was a zoo .. made a few casts no luck.

stopped and spoke to an old timer sitting in the shade who proceeded to tell me he was here at 0500 and the endless fishing being brought back to cars .. as we were takinging about how boat comm holders are taking mutiple fish but shore comm guys can only take 2 a guy must have heard us as he was walking by with 4 fish to his car said i got 15 good day I am no poacher ..

I bit my tongue ... he may be technically correct but ethically in my eyes he's a poacher i think when it says boat permit and another says shore its not rocket science. not sure why EP allow it?
