P.S. Rec Crab Rule Clarification Please? - 06/30/15 10:43 AM
Saw a comment on another board about leaving crab pots in over night during the open days. It quoted,
"No fisher may set, FISH, or pull shellfish gear from a vessel, one hour after official sunset to one hour before official sunrise. All shellfish gear must be removed from the water on closed days.
The key word was "FISH". Stating that it was illegal to "FISH" from one hr after sunset to one hr before sunrise? I have fished for crab for years and we always left our pots in overnight.
Have I been illegal all these years?
