Not that one VB, (I rember that one too).. this was a local scumbag, guys always been a scumbag, theiving, conniving, druggie since the sixties. Supposedly clean and sober, all of a sudden he's a comm fisherman for stripers, but, can't catch large, so, as scumbums will do, he finds the market that will buy shorts.. off the books. He tried clamming for a while, but for some reason, he had a LOT of gear trouble 
He was told by several locals if he was ever seen near the shore again, well, lets just say it wouldn't be pretty... he's a 53 year old paper boy now. Never did get the car back, or his cooler and fishing gear, fined the max per fish, and was on probation, might still be. |

SOB
I heard similar stories about poaching stripers out of the New York area. They say they are really organized.
