These yahoos have been seen and reported by many.

It finally came together. Took a while, but way to go FWC

Don't think your efforts fall on deaf ears. Read the article and the tips coming from many lead to this case.

"This case was the result of a combination of proactive law enforcement work and surveillance, as well as anonymous tips received through the FWC’s Wildlife Alert Hotline."

Excellent. Sure hope the Feds get real involved with the marine mammal protection act violation and all...……..

All his shit is locked up for now.

NOAA is gonna have a field day with him. My neighbor made the case and they made it well. Hats off to them as this POS has been doing this for a while.

No words. POS.

Can only hope they get real tough judges for the state and federal violations and see serious jail time. No concurrent sentences.

Great story, didn't see it on the local news.
Congrats to FWC on a job well done.

Saw it on Fox 13 today. I believe if it had not been for the baby bottlenose it would have never made the news. They blurred out the baby in the photos so it would not offend all the libtards! Go figure!

Good on everyone who had anything to do with getting these scumbags

I started a thread already, they bonded out that day, are they are already back at it?

Can the authorities seize any and all equipment (boats,m cars .trucks nets etc) used in these activities? If so they should do it.

20biminitwist

They took it all including the net.

If they bonded out as said and are back at it I would really like to know how.

Bonded out yes, and back at it I doubt.

If so, I have eyes on them if they return to the area. Remember, they got caught from surveillance and tips.

I even know the creek they were stop netting in.

Good thing the weren't in manatee county, cause using a net without wearing a mask wld of got them another charge.

Uncalled for good work FWC. and those that turned them in and provided tips.

Bad parenting, no morals

Gilnetting, seriously?

Wow.

Probably selling the catch illegally?

Oh, but they were good boys. Trying to turn their lives around. Just trying to feed their kids. = slap on the wrist, 2 months probation.
