Wish I was better at computer search.
Going from memory - I think there was a few news stories about the found gill nets from 2009 and also 2010. Seems it was in Sunpaper or Fisherman.
A few nets are found each year - this from DNR.
I'd guess the poachers set them and in 2-3 days , haul them up. Does not give DNR much time to find them.
I remember clearly on TF - maybe 3 years ago - guys posted GPS numbers for a sumberged net off radar screens at Ches. Beach. They hung up trolling gear and brought a piece of the net up.
Same thing in Potomac - up near #5 marker. Guys were snagging.
I think DNR went and got the nets up.
