LI Local tackle shop owner gets nailed with tons of shorts and illegal fluke??

[charloots]

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. TimS

Unfortunately as is usually the case the fine will not be near enough, but hopefully the loss of customers will set it right!

Oh, THAT tackle shop.

 

Sounds like someone's got a lot of splainin' to do.

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

wait... was it a 50 lb bass on the Atlantic beach jetty or was it 50 lb's of short bass on the Atlantic Beach Jetty... musta been the latter...

Probably not enough.

 

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.

Glad they got caught. Can't wait till they are exposed

Bastages!

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.

[chicky]

im still patiently waiting to find out where my future tackle spending won't be going to

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?

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
