Marker Buoys are off

I know it's been said before, so this is a heads up for those that don't have a GPS or a chip in their GPS that shows the boundary.
I noticed yesterday the boundary marker buoys are not on the MPLA boundary. You need to be about another 100 yards further out or west to be legal.
I'd hate to see someone get a ticket thinking they were fishing legally outside the boundary but were still inside the MLPA beause they relied on the marker bouys. For those that fish inside the marker buoys you deserve what you get and you give our sport a black eye.

You would think if the MPLA was such a big deal to the establishment they would move the marker buoys to the correct location.
