Re: CO busts, amazing what you read:
COOL FIND how about this one?
On December 27th, CO Klitz was on patrol in the area of the Shark River in Monmouth County. While on patrol CO Klitz observed a white van with a roof top refrigeration unit parked in the Belmar Marina. The van had pulled up to a party fishing vessel moored at the dock. CO Klitz moved into position to better view the activities taking place. After observing the men load a crate into the back of the van, CO Klitz moved in to speak with the individuals. It was determined that two of the three males present were deck-hands of the party fishing vessel. These individuals were in the process of selling a total of 72 live tautog to an individual associated with a north Jersey seafood market. A total of twenty three summonses were issued to these three men along with the vessel's captain and owner. The charges included; possession of sub legal tautog, possession of tautog over the daily limit, failure to keep accurate records, sale of tautog without a New Jersey Non-Directed Tautog Permit and the sale/purchase of illegally possessed wildlife.
