Illegal Net In Chesapeake Had 3 Tons Of Rockfish

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Authorities say an illegal rockfish net found off Tilghman Island had more than 3 tons of fish.

Maryland Natural Resources Police said an 80-foot work boat outfitted with a crane worked for several hours to gather the nearly mile-long net on Tuesday.

The net was found Sunday by recreational fishermen near a buoy midway between Tilghman Island and North Beach.

    I'm not sure, but I think the fine is $500 per illegal fish.
