CAMBRIDGE, MD. – Repeat offenders in Maryland are not restricted to drunk driving, spousal abuse or burglary. Further down on the crime scale but still important to preserving Maryland’s natural resources is the ability of the state to regulate who fishes, how much they catch, what size a fish needs to be to be harvested and – to issue a license to do so. Then there are the pirate poachers, but not only as outlaw watermen – also outlaw recreational fisherfolks.

A family that fishes together eats together. This family is walking out on the Bill Burton Fishing Pier. The pier is named for the late and renowned Fishing Writer of the Baltimore Sun who advocated for the State of Maryland to retain the old Choptank River Bridge that carried traffic on Rt. 50 from Dorchester County to Talbot County, with millions of vehicles during its lifetime.
