    Hey All,

    Just wondering if anyone saw the trawler out in sea today? Wasn't too far from the beach as I could see it perfectly. It was massive.

    This was around 4.30ish - 5ish. Illegal Fishing? Legal Fishing?

    Don't see many of these around here.

    Most likely a muscle dredger, they fish legally close to the land to harvest muscles and other shelfish. Might have looked similar to this style of boat...
