This is pretty much the same in Florida.

Here in the Conch Republic,, it is a very large problem. The Game Wardens now have sniffer dogs specifically for lobster. Catches of "out of season" or Shorts can run in the hundreds,, not just one or two..

They also have air support, spotting divers using "lobster hotels", relaying to chase teams on the water.

The same for other species. To many think that a two week vacation allows them to catch a years worth of seafood. They are like frik'n vacuum cleaners..

If this CA "no probably cause" were to go nation wide,, Bad Ju-Ju..
