In Queens County, ECOs Rappold, and Kortz received a complaint about striped bass poachers catching and hiding undersized fish in high marsh grass near their fishing location. The Officers responded and watched from a distance under the cover of darkness. The ECOs later discovered eight illegal striped bass below the legal slot size of 28 inches hidden in the grass. The Officers issued 10 tickets to the group for possession of undersized striped bass and failure to possess a marine registry.
