Saw this on the DEEP facebook page and shared it with Fishing CT group. One of the questions generated besides the scumbags that these guys (the poachers are) was what happens to the fish that are confiscated. I answered if the fish are fit for human consumption probably a homeless kitchen or something. If not a Raptor Rehab...but though I might get a more accurate answer here. Also thanks for your service. Looked like a late night in that pic.



On 4/23/17 Officers assigned to the Western Marine Sector were conducting an evening fisheries enforcement patrol along the Housatonic River in Stratford and Milford. While on patrol Officers encountered five fishermen actively fishing and were found to be in possession of 42 undersized striped bass (estimated at 90lbs). The five fisherman were cited for numerous fishing violations including Possession of Striped Bass less than Legal Minimum Length, Possession of Striped Bass Over the Daily Creel Limit, and Fishing without a License.
Our Officers are out patrolling, however if you see any hunting or fishing violations please contact our 24 hour dispatch center at 860-424-3333 or toll-free 800-842-4537. Please remember that our social media sites are NOT continuously monitored and should not be used to report criminal activity.

If not fit for human consumption would be good to use a lobster bait (with proper OK from DEEP) or fertilizer. Shame to waste the meat.

Thanks for the update!
