Something very peculiar is going on but I can't seem to quite get it.

Fish & game violations should come with denying future licenses to these people. Also perhaps check on immigration stati.

24 people receiving citations and 213 striped bass being seized.

They don't do #### to the local boys that made millions selling illegal rockfish,
.Why do anything to most likely illegals​ and outside​ of staters.

Probably all illegal as well

I am all for throwing the book at these guys. Don't think taking away their right to a fishing license will matter though (seems unlikely they had one to start given the flagrant violations). But what the hell is with the over-charging.

We gonna ticket you for catching this fish out of season. And for catching too many of them (redundant, 1 was too many), and for them being too small (doubly redundant), and for catching these out of season small fish in the wrong area (triply redundant), and for catching too many of the too small fish out of season in the wrong area and at the wrong time of day (quadruply redundant).

There is no too many, if none are allowed.
There is no too small (since no size would be allowable).
There is no wrong location (since there are no right locations)
There is no wrong time of day (since there is no right time of day)

I mean holy shet. I get why these are all different charges, but they obviously overlap in this case and as such the one with the harshest penalty should be the only one included.

The Lumpkins Family, what a great bunch of law abiding waterman. Let's just start with the great rockfish caper. It was what approximately 600,000 lbs of illegal rockfish at what 2.60+ a pound on the whole then. That's only a few million in rockfish, not to talk about the Croaker's, White Perch and largemouth poaching they have done. And that's just what they have been cought with. All licenses , equipment and property involved should have been siezed long ago with a bunch of the above list. For the cash that was harvested the penalties and time served were nothing.
I believe all still have there commercial licenses.

Except for all the jail time and huge fines, you mean...??

Tell me, would you do 18 months or less, and you and your family pick up a few million on the deal..And you get to keep all personal and business assets that were made from illegal fishing & buying..

The museum pier over here gets a ton of Latinos with VA tags on their vans.

Same with Bushwood Wharf. It was good to see DNR pull up to the check everyone. It's a shame they had to work Easter Sunday, but crime doesn't take a holiday.

Wow...all the way down there. Where do they park? I didn't even know that was a fishing pier.

Apparently they have not "discovered" the two public piers over on White Neck.... I never see more than two or three folks fishing off the River Springs one and almost never see anyone fishing off the one opposite.

DNR has been a regular presence at the Piney Point ramp/park area too..said area also always popular with the Latino fishermen.

That's literally every public park with access to the water. Sometimes it seems like you could walk the whole beach stepping from one discarded corona bottle to the next without ever touching the sand.
 
Not sure what it is about the Latinos, but it's not just a problem here. Years and years ago when I lived on Long Island, Latinos would invade the private beaches, take up all the parking reserved for sticker-ed locals, over-fish, leave dead carcasses and trash everywhere. Every week there would be more and more as word spread within their community. Efforts to remove them never worked.

12-42 months??? Over a fish?

DNR does not mess around! We got a ticket for fishing w/ out a license because it was "not on our person" it was in our back pack 5 feet from us. It wasn't a cheap ticket either it was like $150 or so. Never made that mistake again.
