pretty despicable behavior. They had a "lookout" so knew they were breaking the law. Stiff fine is in order. Some didn't have license so can't confiscate that.



" Dispicable "

Good one Kandy, but when I here that word this cartoon character comes to mind.

This has been going on forever on the Salmon River. It changed somewhat once they finally outlawed weighed hooks and snagging...

Eleven anglers busted for snagging fish at night on Salmon River
By Steve Featherstone | sfeatherstone@syracuse.com

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation police officers (ECOs) busted 11 anglers last month for snagging fish after dark on the Salmon River.

ECOs received a tip at around 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 22 that a group of anglers were fishing the Black Hole section of the Salmon River. The Black Hole is a popular fishing spot just west of Pulaski, below the sewer treatment plant. Fishing is not allowed at night on the Salmon River.

When ECOs arrived at the location, they noticed someone in the parking lot serving as a lookout for the anglers. Rather than alert the lookout to their presence, ECOs stayed hidden and used thermal night vision to observe anglers blind snatching—or snagging—fish.

ECOs surprised the anglers and ordered them to put their fishing gear on the ground, then gathered up salmon already on stringers. They issued 26 tickets for violations including possession of weighted hooks, snag hooks, snatching, fishing after hours, and failure to possess a fishing license.

The fact that they posted a lookout shows that they all knew what they were doing was illegal. They did it anyway. These people cannot ever be allowed to fish, hunt, or trap again. They have demonstrated that conservation of wildlife means absolutely nothing to them. We don't need that kind in the woods.

Original article called these guys "anglers". Although they were not violent, they are still criminals and should lose all their equipment, any that had a fishing license should lose same for several years and be on probation and jail time as mentioned by others should they get caught again. Would also warn, if legal, that their transportation would also be confiscated in any future criminal activity.

Why give them warnin that you are goin to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
Confiscate EVERYTHING they have out in the field that's legally possible.
Give them the stiffest fine and maximum jail sentence and revoke their privilege of huntin and fishin license for life. JMO though.
