I've heard from a very reliable source that the gill netters are working in close to the beach well within 3 mile limit which they are not allowed to do. If those gill nets which are normally on the bottom and in deeper water are set in shallower water this could have been the cause.

For those of you fishing, if you see some high flyers close in and are trolling you need to watch you don't snag them...
