charloots Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Good idea Brian. But how does a bust of that magnitude remain so quiet anyway? Nothing on News12, local radio,etc? I thought the guy was busted already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lang Posted July 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Good idea Brian. But how does a bust of that magnitude remain so quiet anyway? Nothing on News12, local radio,etc? I thought the guy was busted already. Probably because it involves a local seafood dealer/restaurant from XXXX XXXX as well, and it may be part of something LARGER as this went on for some time. I guess they have to gather whatever, THEN make it "public" knowledge. I believe this happend about 1 - 1 1/2 weeks ago. Sorry Tim Thanks.

surfrat59 Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Unfortunately as is usually the case the fine will not be near enough, but hopefully the loss of customers will set it right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charloots Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Oh, THAT tackle shop. Sounds like someone's got a lot of splainin' to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimS Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 quote:How much would the fine be for "several hundred pounds" of short bass and 89 illegal fluke?? Probably not enough. Correction: For a tackle shop that relies on healthy striper and fluke stocks in order to make a living to then get busted with hundreds of pounds of short bass and 89 illegal fluke? It's definitely not enough TimS Show someone how to catch striped bass and they'll be ready to fish anywhere. Show someone where to go striped bass fishing and you'll have a desperate report chaser with loose lips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "grapevine" has the fines levied starting at fifteen thousand dollars. They supposedly have everything on cameras, so they have been watching for a while then I guess.

PurpelNoon Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I went in to this particular place a few years back as a "newbie" and I was treated very rudely so I never went back. I now go to another place that treats me great and I spend large sums of money there on a frequent basis. What comes around, goes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicky Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 im still patiently waiting to find out where my future tackle spending won't be going to Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

Mike T Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 purpel If it`s the place I think reading between the lines I go there and they are nice guys. I hope it`s not. I like going there because my son lives right down the block from them. It would be a big help if I new for sure. ML how about a PM?

charloots Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 It's not the Sports Authority in Massapequa, is it? I have gift certificates I want to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicky Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 It's not the Sports Authority in Massapequa, is it? I have gift certificates I want to use. its the SA in Carle Place either way i'm extremely annoyed that this has happened and hope the clown/clowns involved not only pay a huge fine but also lose the customers that supported them. Knowing alone that its a nassau shop has me irked because i take pride in being a long island fisherman roaming the beaches of both nassua shores and doing my part to conserve our environment, abide by the laws & teach and learn all i can to help others [ 07-14-2004, 05:13 PM: Message edited by: chicky ] Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
