Probably come out once they are formerly charged in court. I'm sure there is some scuttlebutt on the docks. RIDEM has been slow to announce in the past - they're probably a little cautious because some in their own dept have been busted multiple times in the past.

The boats were photographed over the line and when they returned to their home ports they were informed that the Feds would be getting in touch.

If proven guilty, Lets hope that for once, a penalty will be given that will truly make people think twice in the future, and the perpetrators feel sick every time the see a fishing rod.
Seriously... no mercy... lets have it.

Photographed?? That's not a bust. That's shark fishing or tuna fishing(likely defense)

I tell ya...there was one year that Paliaso's dad and his buddy had spreader bars out trolling over some close to home ledges for footballs. They ended up with a 48 pound bass. The GPS said 3.2 miles to port (in Beverly Harbor, I believe). They couldn't decide where the 3 mile limit started. They let the fish go without even thinking about it.

Just posted on the RISAA Facebook page:

Block Island violators to be charged.
On this past Wednesday night, Environmental Police Officers conducted an undercover operation at the Southwest Ledge area off Block Island to observe fishing for striped bass in the EEZ, a violation of federal law.
As a result, eleven boats were later boarded and the captains will be charged.
Nine of them are being referred to the National Marine Fisheries Service for violations of the federal Striped Bass Act.
Two are being charged in state court.
Names will not be released until all charges are filed.
The Law Enforcement Division will issue a press release later today or tomorrow.
Steve
PS. Those who want to illegally fish under cover of darkness can expect much more of this. From now on, poachers won't know who is watching.

I translate that as only 2 of the boats had an above legal limit of bass, 9 of them hold commercial fishing licenses. A good sign that at the very least only 2 had over the limit of fish.
I could be wrong on my assumption.

I bet that there would have been a lot more, if no one had cell phones.
After they stopped the the first half dozen.
I think a lot of fish were dump over board.

How hard is it to know if you are in the EEZ or not?
Any idea what would be a violation of state law vs fed. law and why some might be only charged w/state law?
Thanks

If you had one fish or more in the eez you are over the limit. People will bash once names are released as they are very well known in the fishing industry. Unfortunately this was a witch hunt for a few individuals. Come mid August there are 50 plus boats over eez every single night most of which are montauk charter boats. There are plenty of rec boats out there from ny ct ri. If they really cared about enforcing the eez they would target all boats not let it go all summer and target select individuals.

I would rather see 1 person get prosecuted than none... just sayin
still - they should be enforcing it all summer long, especially when the narrative all summer was "the big bass are offshore"

True - but when you zoom in it disappears on most. If your trying to do the right thing down there, it's still pretty easy to go OB.
I'm sure the holier than thou internet police are going to have a field day trashing people over this one.
Enjoy biatches.
