he's limitited to 15 bushehels r day, p per person,n, or 30 bushe per boat. and the oysysters he cacatches e to be atat least 3 incnches. while the hand tongers work the shallower waters at broad creek, divers and patent tongers with hydraulic controls and larger rakes search for oysters in deeper waters. in november, the power dredgers join the tongers for the rest of the season and are bound by even stricter regulations. dredgers include the few remaining skipjacks that once filled the bay. under sail, skipjacks can haul in 150 bushels per boat, but if they use motorized push boats, which most working skipjacks do, they can only dredge your oysters two days a week. >> and the draw of being a waterman was that big day, and that's been taken away through regulations and it's very difficult. it's a lot more regulations, a lot less profit in the business so, a lot less opportunity to have big days, they're very regulated, no matter if you're able to catch $1,000 worth in oysters, where you could d do that in the past, you're scheduled you're going to make $300
