Legal Question in Criminal Law in District of Columbia

Dc law

Fishing on the potomac in DC water states that cast nets and seine nets are illegal they also say dip nets over 24 inches in diameter are illegal. They do not state anywhere that gill nets are illegal yet they are enforcing this law as if it exists. What can I do about this?
