    Ugly scene unfolding in the chesapeake.

    I have seen several news stories about illegal gillnets being used for stripers down there, 10 tons of rock fish(stripers) have been found in submerged, anchored gillnets which are illegal in their fishery. Some boats have had tracking devices covertly installed by authorities, which have been found by the boat's owners'. You know what really upsets me? all of the problems in the fishing industry are caused by greed and dishonesty. Whether its fisherman using illegal methods or trying to hide overages or the catch shares program allowing greedy corporate boats to buy up all the quota. People suck for the most part.

    I think that there will be a lot of news come to light with the chesapeak, there are some serious backwards ways that I have seen not sure on the fisheries but one can add 2 plus 2 and if certain things are one way then most likely will carry over in to the bays. A lot of commerical fishing in that area, and when I see the old house demolition methods down there and their demolition methods mean light the house on fire and let it burn to the ground, along with burning household trash in your back yard, zero recycling efforts ...makes you think what else
