Dropping pots

Is there a problem with dropping pots before 4.30am? I remember awhile ago some people got there knickers in a knot when a bloke was entering the marina before 4.30am.  I have to get to work early so I need to drop them earlier.  I couldnt find anything on the fisheries site.

I think I have read some where that you are not allowed to "pull pots" before 0430. I am sorry I just can't find the reference.

 Dropping them in at night or early morn as long as you are not pulling/catching i believe would be ok. if you are being monitored that close , then they will see you dropping only. not to mention your empty bag.
