That's interesting.

Around here, you couldn't see the bouys on a fishing net at night -
they aren't lighted.

I wonder why they didn't cite the commercial fisher for deploying an
unsafe net in a waterway.


When the guys are fishing for shad or bunker in the CT river, they are
supposed to have a light at each end of the net. Stll tough from a low
boat to tell if it is a net light, or a stern light of a vessel moving
away.
