Southcoastphil Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I wish that MEP would post the name of the offenders. Mass Environmental Police/CWN BOURNE – From Mass Environmental Police: On Saturday, July 6, 2019, a Massachusetts Environmental Police Officer observed a person hauling lobster gear along the Cape Cod Canal. Upon further inspection it was determined the person did not possess a non-commercial lobster license and was hauling pots that did not belong to him. The Officer also found the individual to be in possession an egg bearing female lobster. The individual was issued citations for hauling the gear of another and possession of an egg bearing lobster.

bob_G Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 There's another potential charge here. Hauling someone else's gear and possession of an egg bearing lobster are only two. He should also be charged with lobstering without a license. Sandbar1 1 The Sultan of Sluggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angler #1 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 My friend lost One of his traps that he just put in the bay four days ago . and some one else I spoke with lost three so far this year. It seems like it is a catching problem this time of the year . Reminds one of P A and how he made a living doing just that at Bell road and other spots, hey Bob.

bob_G Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 When I was fishing commercially I would lose about 75 traps a year. The Sultan of Sluggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeDave Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 And this is the problem with people today they think it is just fine to go into other peoples stuff. There's no need to blow smoke up my ass as a lengthy preamble to your insulting another person. It doesn't fool anyone and it doesn't garner any favor.

bob_G Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Here's another problem that arises in the canal. There's a lot of tricks that lead to success in canal lobstering. Its not just chuck in the traps, and haul out buckets of lobsters. Once lobster thieves learn your traps are fishing well, they'll go out of their way to target only your gear. I had someone doing that to me for a couple years before I finally caught up with him. The Sultan of Sluggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
