Fishermen sound off in protest of Obama catch policy
(NECN: Alison King, Tisbury, Mass.) - Northeast fishermen have been sounding off about administration catch limits in a noisy demonstration during President Barack Obama's Vineyard vacation.
 

More than a dozen boats from across the region circled the harbor at Vineyard Haven today, honking horns in protest.

Fishermen from Gloucester and elsewhere on the Northeast coast say catch limits are so stringent they're being forced out of business.

Watch the video from NECN.
