FNC reports Coast Guard and California Highway Patrol are trying to apprehend a guy in a small boat operating without running lights near the Golden Gate Bridge. The man is said to have snorkeling equipment. That is all they have at the moment.

It looks like it's going on your "permanent record"

Must be hell to have a permanent record with "adequate.com"

You should never have messed with Ponch and John!!

Does the guy look like a certain person from foodtv?

Ming's taking his show on the road! In search of creative cuisine and culinary adventure, Ming travels the U.S. with chef knife in tow. He'll rustle up some longhorns in Colorado, try his hand at ostrich farming in Texas, and dive for abalone in California--then prepare sumptuous meals on location with his signature East-West flair.

:o)

In a boat that small with snorkelling equipment...? Doesn't fit.

You could be right, but maybe this guy was picking up a bundle that that had been placed underwater by somebody. Or maybe I watch too much television? lol

[concerned about politics]

You have been sooooo busted!

[Kip Lange]

If this guy *is* a poacher, I would assume he would have a police scanner with him...which means the idiot better turn himself in pretty soon or he's in DEEP doo-doo. Then again, maybe he's being and idiot and running away.

Where is one of these puppies when you need them?

Here you go. America's last line of defense.

Is it Greenpeace again or a drug runner? I pray its nothing more than that! Stay safe West Coasters!!!

If his zodiac collided with a tug earlier, someone might want to send someone down under the tug - or any other ships that were nearby at the time- to take a look for little packages on the keel. Just in case. Not all limpets are shellfish.

I'm an East Coast guy, have fished a little bit in So Cal, but I read their fishing boards, but I believe there's a LOT of poaching of lobsters and abalones out there.

[Snowy]

Ooooh, I'm tellin'.

[Kip Lange]

Good point...I'm assuming they've got the tug in custody...

[new cruelty]

We have ways of making you talk!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

I wonder if the authorities are prepared for "a sumptuous meal with East-West flair".

[Free Trapper]

I've taken a lot of shellfish (legal) with a small twelve foot boat with a hookah rig and free diving,too.

[piasa]

I wouldn't mind having some abalone in custody.

Scott Peterson is dragging the bay looking for Laci, or is he sailing to Bora Bora?
