Description
Robert J. Clucas was convicted of operating a set gill net within 600 feet of another gill net. Clucas appeals, arguing that
the district court erred in rejecting his proposed affirmative defense of "first in time, first in right." We reverse. Clucas was arrested at Squarehead Cove in Tuxedni Bay on May 9, 1990. Fish and Wildlife Officers Mark Kruzick and Curtis
Bedingfield arrived at Squarehead Cove on May 8, 1990, during an open season of the herring gill net fishery. The officers
saw approximately 100 to 150 gill nets in the cove, most separated from each other by only 100 to 300 feet, in violation of
5 AAC 27.435, which requires that nets be 600 feet apart. The officers patrolled the area in a small boat, spreading the word
that citations would be issued the following day if the nets were not moved farther apart.
