It is what it is. One of my very good friends works the marine division in Greenwich and constantly informs me of his frustration over situations as these. The DEEP is understaffed and they can only be so many places at once. I'm not trying to side solely with them, just stating what I know.
I too have witnessed many illegal activities that make my blood boil and always call the hotline. They're always there too help but if understaffed, who's going to respond to the call? It's a harsh reality that all the law abiding fisherman have to deal with. I'm not happy with it and I'm sure many who are reading my statements arent either. There's only so much that can be done.
I've gotten so angry in the past over things like this and have confronted people about it. Trust me, nothing good ever came from it.
