And so it continues…

On Saturday, June 7, 2015, the Mattapoisett Harbormaster and Shellfish Warden observed three adult males aboard a 12-foot dinghy equipped with an engine, with fishing gear, several large coolers, and bags containing fish onboard. The Harbormaster approached the vessel and observed what appeared to be a significant amount of Sea Bass aboard and subsequently contacted the Massachusetts Environmental Police. MEP officers responded and inspected the catch. The inspection showed the fishermen possessed 198 Sea Bass over the legal limit, 48 of which were undersized.

The catch, fishing gear, and vessel were seized; the catch was donated to the Salvation Army.
