Last year there were several transient guides that would show up in Wareham ,Marion and Mattapoisett pull up to a herring pen and empty it and take off with thier clients . I know of one that was busted and got off with a wrist slap . Maybe we should check on the regs for shotguns on our boats and settle the problem like the old Maine lobstermen use to. I use to find my lobster pots open when I pulled them on Sat-Sun . How did those lobsters open those pots ? Maybe some help from rubber fish? But unless they had thier arm stuck in the pot when you pulled it and you could keep them in it until the EPO's showed they got away with it
As far as herring go I'll stay with wood and save myself the aggravation.
