If they're diving for lobsters after sundown, they're violating the law

It is illegal to harvest lobsters by any method at night, in Massachusetts.

I'm pretty sure it's 10k minimum fine and up to 3 years for disturbing them at night in MA. I may be wrong though.

RI's 1-5k and up to a year if convicted. You think it would be easy to regulate the Bass a little stricter. That's some big ass fines if you ask me. I think people would think about it if they would be fined out the ass for a short fish.
