[Kiyo]

Hello everyone,<br><br>I just heard there are gilletters just outside of the Long Beach Harbor by the lighthouse area. I thought gillnetting was illegal? I got the report from Nick G. on the Cruor out of Pierpoint landing. He said they had white poles with a black flags. Are these gillnetters? <br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Kiyo<br>www.baytubers.com<br><br>come catch a legal Halibut!<br>www.baytubers.com
