4-720. FISHING RESTRICTIONS IN CECIL AND HARFORD
COUNTIES.

A PERSON MAY NOT USE A HAUL SEINE IN THE WATER
AREA WEST OF A LINE FROM LOCUST POINT TO THE PUMPING
STATION AT PERRY POINT. THIS SECTION DOES NOT
PROHIBIT CATCHING FISH FOR CONSERVATION OR SCIENTIFIC
PURPOSES UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE DEPARTMENT, OR
PROHIBIT CATCHING CARP. IF 25 OR MORE ROCKFISH ARE
FOUND IN A SEINE OR NET, THERE IS A VIOLATION OF THIS
SECTION, AND THE EXCEPTION STATED DOES NOT APPLY. ANY
PERSON WHO VIOLATES THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION IS
GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND UPON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT
TO A FINE OF AT LEAST $100 AND NOT MORE THAN $1,000
WITH COSTS IMPOSED IN THE DISCRETION OF THE COURT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Article 66C, section 265(k) of the Code.
It is inserted here for organizational
purposes. The penalty provision is
retained since it differs materially from
the penalty provisions of the uniform
penalty provision of this title. The only
other changes made are in style.
