The problem is, the DNR jumped the gun and pulled the net BEFORE they caught the culprits fishing it. At this point in time, they have no case. They should have waited and then confiscated the boat and trucks used to transport the catch, and put the thieves in jail with BUBBA for awhile. Another screw up.

It's hard to tell why NRP didn't put a stake out on the nets. Maybe they thought that they needed to get the net and secure the fish before they were no good. Tough to judge some one when you don't have all the facts. I applaud the NRP for the job they are doing...........Gary

How many PSCR trips would I have had to make to kill that many fish at <1% mortality .
What happened to the NEW camera's mounted to keep an eye on the bay?
At least they lost their nets .

Nets are cheap, they didn't lose much. My best guess would be that somebody turned the dirt bags in to begin with, and that somebody ALSO TOLD the culprits that they had been ratted out. That's why DNR didn't maintain surveillance for any amount of time, because they pretty much knew the bad guys weren't coming back.

Just so it is pointed out.... 3 Tons of striped bass on the commercial is only worth $15,000 on the commercial market. That is a whopping $2.50 per pound. What a wasteful use of a valuable resource.
What do you think 6000lbs of striped bass is worth in recreational fishing dollars?
Hopefully this adds fuel to the fire with the MSSA reallocation initiative.. I personally am hoping that a reallocation leads to hook and line only harvest.

We know commercial watermen set those nets because????
To much coincidence.
We know someone from MSSA didn't set those nets because????
Personally, I wouldn't put it past either CCA or MSSA. They both want a quota reduction from the commercial side. What better way to stir things up.

Reds... where you have you been? Where are your nets
I think the culture of corruption speaks for itself to who set the illegal nets...

Prove it.
I know first hand of some of the deeds your fishing club members have done.
I wouldn't put this past them or you for that matter.
Accuse me. Right back at you. Must of been tight in that piece of Sh!T boat with all those nets.

If you bothered to read the whole story(see Crabby & Son post above) or http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/o...,4455242.story and not just an abbreviated post on the internet you would understand that they did attempt to catch the poacher by staking out the area overnight. After that they acted in the best interest of the resource. The problem is not DNR jumping the gun.

Second net with similar catch and similar length pulled:

I confirmed it is not just a rerun of the initial story. This is a second bust.
