MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - Two commercial gillnetters have been ordered
to appear in court after an officer from the Marine Resources
Division says he saw them using a 1,200-foot net in the closed
waters of Daphne's D'Olive Creek.
A tip phoned in to Alabama's Operation Gamewatch hot line led
Officer Trey Pose to the creek. Pose intercepted the net boat where
the creek, known for its popular "Alligator Alley" public park
area, drains into Mobile Bay.
Marine Resources officers say the netters stopped Saturday were
issued court appearance tickets and will be identified after their
hearings.
The state Senate approved a bill last week to outlaw the
commercial nets permanently. It's pending in the House.
Alabama is the last state on the Gulf Coast that allows the
year-round use of gillnets.

Spencer better not vote against this.  If he does, everyone should vote him out next time around.
