Captree Boat Poaching Bass...

Why were there fillets in a freezer in the hold. Were they being sold?
The weren't fresh fish that was just caught. They were frozen for some reason
If so, go after the buyer as well.

Is DEC not identifying the boat because it believes doing so will just attract all the miscreants searching for boats that will support their poaching ?

As red handed as it appears, they will get their day in court.

Plea deal likely pending......

Reason I’m not on Facebook never had it, never will. Stupid stuff like this just fuels the fire for stricter regulations.

IIRC George, NY DEC has some public health issues with giving confiscated fish, and possibly game, out for human consumption. I may be mixing things up with another state...

It's amazing how u people act like they killed someone!!he broke the rules and that's all, we all break the rules In one form or another.. if they wasn't so strict then maybe no one would feel the need to keep small fish..u pay $100.00 to keep 1 slot fish u may or may not catch but u let the boats from other countries catch all they want..I don't fish for stripers nor do I say what he did was right but don't crucify the man for it either..give him his fine and move on and remember we all have broken the law one time or another and if u say u haven't-your lieing to yourself!!!
