Hi everyone, looks like a great fishing season a-coming, my boat should be in the drink in about 3 weeks. I wanna get an issue going in the meantime.

There is a poacher working in Jamaica Bay. Not gonna give his name, but I'm gonna get his hull number tomorrow, my friend told me where his boat is. It is a small Carolina Skiff with a 25 HP kicker on it. He currently is trolling in front of Canarsie Pier every day, and he is hoarding bass and weakfish, and selling them to a couple of restaurants in Brooklyn. He was doing it the end of last year too, and he decided to get off to a flying start this year. I want him busted!


Let me know if you all feel the same, and I will post his hull number here. Can someone offer the most resourceful number to call, to bust this guy?

Good fishing!

He might have a license to sell those fish.

Bucktail is right, you don't know if he is a pinhooker or not...

Turn him in to DEC - if he has a license - no harm done...

It doesn't matter if he is a pin-hooker, it is illegal to sell bass taken from Jamaica Bay. Not to mention that the NY commercial striper season doesn't open until July 1.

Do you mean you can use that license to keep and sell a cooler full of 12 inch weakfish?
