On April 24, while on evening patrol, ECO Grady received a tip about a subject fishing at the end of the new jetty at Cedar Beach by the inlet to Mount Sinai Harbor. The complainant said the angler was catching and keeping small striped bass in a blue cooler stashed in some rocks. The complainant had already informed the fisherman that the fish he caught were unlawful to keep, but the angler ignored the warning. ECO Grady arrived at the location just as the subject was loading his fishing gear into the trunk of his car. ECO Grady could see a fish tail sticking out of the cooler and proceeded to inspect its contents. The ECO found two small striped bass outside the legal slot size limits and ticketed the angler for possession of over-limit and undersized fish. The Officer then returned the striped bass to the water.

The only thing that puzzles me here is the part about "he then returned them to the water." They look like crab bait to me.Unfortantly I think they are required to put them back dead or alive. I had similar situation when i called the ecos out in shinny last year.. whole cooler of dead shorts back into the water.. at least the crabs were eating good.
