I work for a local PD and asked the EPO that covers our area what I should do if I stop someone with short stripers or too many fish.
He said to sieze the fish and freeze them for evidence and to book the subject's name and he would charge them. Maybe a call to your local PD would get some results too. A lot of the guys I work with are fisherman and they would most certainly enforce fisheries regulations is they were observed.
Often times though, it's viewed as another agencies responsibility. Like with the State Police, they patrol highways. Epo, they enforce wildlife regs, we deal with our town.... sometimes we forget that a law is a law regardless of whether a violation of it happens on a highway or a waterway.
