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.

These things are about 150 yards long, designed to guide the fish to a trap
at the end. They do have lights on the ends, the yellow flashers that are
use for road construction, powered by a six volt battery in the compartment
right below the light. The lights are there, but I've never seen them
working.

I wish the CG would do something about them, but apparently they didn't.
