Is there a good readable source for understanding what can be done and not done bringing lobsters to shore with respect to Mass Envir Police? 1st. Not sure where the rule book is and 2nd.....it seems these police are not well coached in communication.
My dive buddies and I had a run in with 3 this weekend, 2 undercover and 1 in uniform. When are you supposed to measure lobsters? Can you get to shore, measure and dump or does it have to be when putting in the bag? Every time I meet these guys....they always have their own rules....engagement is never consistent. I understand the need to police, but don't they really have something better to do? Most of us abide by rules but police just assume the worst and some have a chip on their shoulders....gives public service a bad name...sorry guyz but its true.
Thanks for your help,
