If I was a poacher, a $450 fine would be a joke compared to how much I was making off illegally sold stripers, since this is a second offense he better loose his commercial license if he has one and his rec license... This guy should be done with fishing for good, I would love to hear the outcome of this one!

I was boarded at the boat launch in Pt Judith last year, first thing he did was went right to my anchor storage at the front of the bow, opened it and pulled all the anchor rope out! When I asked what he was looking for he told me people attach bags full of illegal fish to anchor ropes and slide them down under the hull.

I told him he was doing a great job and keep up the great work, these guys mean buisness and its nice to see them checking out boats!!!
