Undersized Striped Bass at Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve - Suffolk County
On April 15, while patrolling Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve on the North Shore of Long Island, ECOs Dickson and Kauhferr observed several headlamps along the beach. The Officers waited in the area until one of the groups fishing off the far end of the beach returned to the parking lot. The ECOs approached two of the anglers and one tried to hide a bag underneath a car. The Officers inspected the bag and found two undersized striped bass inside. The ECOs ticketed the anglers for possession of over-the-limit striped bass and possessing undersized striped bass.
