bk Member Registered: 06/06/01 Posts: 4260 Loc: Newtown	The same guy from Ny that netted all the bunker out of Black Rock Harbor a couple years ago is back. Did they change the law so you can only keep 50 per person? He had a least 1000 in the boat and was still netting. Can he do that with a commercial license?

If so I don't think anyone ever confirmed it.
