Two Chesapeake Bay fishermen found oysters growing in a marsh and picked up eight bushels. A MD marine police officer saw them and said, "You can't do that."
"We have a license," one of the fishermen replied.
"You didn't use tongs. You aren't allowed to harvest oysters with your hands," the officer replied. He gave them a verbal warning.
One of the fishermen objected. "I want a paper citation so I can take this to court! Any judge would throw it out."
My book, Wet and Hungry, contains many ridiculous incidents like this. I have added an excellent commercial fishing website and a site where readers may purchase my book at the bottom of this blog site.
I thought I added them, but they haven't shown up. The sites are www.commercial-fishing.org and www.authorsbookshop.com, this site gives me a larger percentage on my book sales than other on-line book stores.
