you should see how they work, they circle endlessly until they cant find a single oyster left before they move to another spot.

oyster dredging IS as bad and harmful as the gill nets were and it should be outlawed forcing oyster fishermen to go back to less destructive methods like tonging or harvesting by hand
Here is a picture of 2 boats on the south bank of Big Lake. There was at least 2 dozen boats working the Lake on 4-21-2010.
