Sliver spring man poached 228 Striped Bass

cww said:

all of it is total BS. Whether it's deer or fish the same thing, little slaps on the wrist by either DNR or the Judges.

not trying to be offensive or anything but seems to be a cultural theme in many of these cases. I've seen both Hispanics and Asians keep EVERY fish they catch on Black hills and the Hispanics continually just walk away from all their trash on the bank. We won't even get into the theory as to why we have snakeheads living all over the place now.

Not illegal but the Asian lady with the Mercedes SUV at Chesapeake Beach cracks me up, she will barely let you finish cleaning your catch before she is grabbing the carcass from you or out of the trash and throws it in a nasty can in the back of the SUV.

Needwood today, I caught two nice Bass, both 2+ pounds. Photo and release. Saw a Mexi catch a Bass, went immediately in a little cooler. Not only did his look under size, the season is not even open yet. During March & April there is a Chinese guy that brings five rods (one a surf rod) loaded up with power bait for trout. We tell him , "three rods".. He'll just reel two in, then casts them back out again when he thinks we don't see. He'll get five trout, go to car and return for more. Guy I was with called DNR, and they noted they were pretty sure they knew who it was but couldn't get there.

Catching the latino poachers is the low hanging fruit for DNR. They tend to fish from bridges and fishing piers which are easy to patrol. The GOBs in St Mary's and Calvert have their boats and use private docks. The only time they get caught is if neighbors call DNR on them.

Yep. When I was in law school, I knew a GOB that caught 100 trophies in a single outing with all of 3 people on the boat. The man could fish. No undersized stripers on that $250,000 boat, just a few too many.

Knew a couple GOB's that would shoot more than the daily limit of waterfowl too. Had to stop hunting with them because that stuff is frowned upon when taking the bar exam and I sure did not want to get caught in the middle of "whose ducks are these?" if DNR rolled up on us.

You probably missed it because ..................

I'm beginning to think that the DNR has it out for hyphenated Hispanics.

Three Washington-area men were charged last week with illegal fishing at Kent Narrows.

Jose Guillermo Cabrera-Suchite, 27, of Adelphi, received two citations Thursday for keeping five undersized striped bass and for exceeding the daily summer catch limit.

On July 4, Milagro Aracely Vierra-Lemus, 23, and Wilfredo Armando Barrious-Maldonado, 35, of Washington, received three citations each for exceeding the daily catch limit for striped bass, possessing undersized fish and possessing striped bass between midnight and 5 a.m.

All three men are scheduled to appear in Queen Anne’s County District Court Sept. 7. The maximum fine for each offense is $1,000.

Not really, they arrested several men with non Hispanic sounding names for boating while impaired:

Officers on saturation patrol with the U.S. Coast Guard during the holiday weekend arrested several boaters for operating while impaired.

Gregory Daniel Andrews, 28, of Kingsville, failed field sobriety tests and refused to take a Breathalyzer test after being stopped near Tolchester Marina in Kent County. He received three citations for impairment and one for failing to carry required vessel safety equipment. He has an Aug. 30 court date.

Stephen Michalkiewicz, 40, of Newark, Delaware, was stopped near Still Pond in Kent County and issued three citations for impaired operation. He has an Aug. 30 court date.

Steven Robert Taylor, 24, of Newark, Delaware, was stopped on the Sassafras River near Back Creek when an officer noticed his boat was speeding and did not have navigational lights on. He failed field sobriety tests and refused to take a Breathalyzer test.

Officers issued three citations for impaired boating, one citation for negligent operation and one citation for failing to carry required vessel safety equipment. A court date has not been set yet in Cecil County District Court.

It was just the next article after the one you read. That is where your link took me. Boaters in distress, Hispanics poaching fish, whites operating boats while impaired. Granted, I'm just making assumptions based upon names. They could have been all Asians for all I know, or even Italians.

Maryland Natural Resources Police officers on surveillance at the Nanticoke River Oyster Sanctuary charged a Wicomico County man with illegal harvesting and public health violations.

David Messick, 32, of Bivalve, received citations for harvesting out of season, harvesting wild oysters more than 150 feet inside a sanctuary, failing to provide shade on his vessel to control the Vibrio bacteria and harvesting on the aquaculture lease of another.

When officers approached Messick June 6, he had four bushels of oysters on board his boat that he said came from his leased area. When they checked his claim, the officers found that the lease had been terminated by the state in March for failure to pay rent. In fact, the oysters came from the sanctuary and a lease that belonged to another man.

After checking GPS coordinates with a state hydrographer, officers issued citations. The oysters were returned to the water.

Messick has been scheduled for a hearing in Wicomico County District Court Aug. 1.

Two men were charged with impaired boating in separate incidents.

William Taylor Frank Jr., 33, of Georgetown was intercepted by officers at about 8:30 p.m. June 11 as he attempted to dock at Turner’s Creek Landing off the Sassafras River.

Frank performed poorly on the standardized field sobriety test and later recorded a blood alcohol content of 0.13 during a Breathalyzer test administered by the Maryland State Police, well over the legal limit of 0.08.

He received two citations for impaired operation, one citation for reckless operation of a vessel and one citation for failing to have a sufficient number of life jackets aboard.

Frank is due to appear in Kent County District Court July 19. If found guilty of all charges, he could be fined as much as $2,500.

~~~

Just before 9 p.m. June 5, officers stopped Jeffery Steven Culver, 34, of Wilmington, Delaware, on the Sassafras River for speeding and failing to have required running lights on.

Culver had difficulty completing a field sobriety test and later registered a blood alcohol content of 0.14 during a Breathalyzer test administered by the Maryland State Police.

Culver was issued two citations for impaired operation. He also received two citations for failing to have required safety equipment and single citations for negligent operation, exceeding the 6-knot speed limit, and operating a vessel without required running lights.

He is due to appear in Cecil County District Court Aug. 11. If found guilty, he could be fined as much as $2,085.

A Washington County man was charged with illegal fishing June 9 after an officer on patrol saw him using a dip net to catch smallmouth bass.

Kang Guan Ren, 63, of Hagerstown, received a citation for keeping three smallmouth bass out of season. He also received a written warning for using a net in a prohibited area.

Ren is scheduled to appear in Washington County District Court Aug. 22. If found guilty, he could be fined a maximum of $1,000.

A Charles County man was arrested on criminal assault charges after anglers on Middletown Branch complained that he fired on them.

The victims told Maryland Natural Resources Police officers that they were bowfishing at about 10:30 p.m. May 13, when a man began yelling obscenities at them and shining a light on them. They then heard what they thought was a gun shot and heard a splash near their boat.

The investigation led officers and the Charles County Sheriff’s Office to Ronald L. Manning, 58, of Newburg. Manning told officers that he did not want the anglers near the property and that he went onto the pier carrying a flare gun and air rifle. He said he fired the flare gun into the water.

Manning was charged with three counts each of first-degree assault, second-degree assault and reckless endangerment, and one count of disorderly conduct.

The case has been turned over to the Charles County State’s Attorney Office for review.

A Calvert County man was charged with hunting violations after officers saw posts and photos on social media that indicated illegal activity.

Thomas James Walker, 32, of Prince Frederick, was charged with exceeding the wild turkey bag limit and failing to check in his kills.

Acting on tips, officers learned that Walker killed a turkey April 18, the opening day of spring season, in Cedarville State Forest in Charles County. He did not check in that turkey.

On April 21, Walker posted about killing second turkey at Cedarville; he checked in that turkey May 3, long after the legal timeframe, state records showed.

On May 20, Walker posted that he killed a turkey, but state records did not indicate that it was checked in. He told officers that it was killed on private property in Calvert County. The beard and spurs were seized by officers.

Walker also received six written warnings: two for failing to complete his Big Game Harvest Record; two for failing to complete confirmation number on his Big Game Harvest Record; one for failing to report a harvest within 24 hours; and one for failing to report a harvest.

He is scheduled to appear in Calvert County District Court Aug. 14.

A Prince George’s County man was charged Thursday with illegal fishing by officers patrolling Fishing Creek Bridge in Dorchester County.

Guadalupe Zelaya Garcia, 34, of Hyattsville, was stopped as he left the area shortly before midnight. Officers found 19 undersized striped bass in his vehicle.

He received citations for fishing without a license, keeping undersized striped bass and keeping fish above the creel limit.

He is scheduled to appear in Dorchester County District Court Sept. 20. If found guilty, he could be fined as much as $4,000.

Doesn't matter what nationality your name sounds like, if you commit a crime and DNR officers catch you, they will most likely charge you.

More uncanny coincidences

I bet the failure to appear rate is near 100%

I remember taking a look at the MD fishing license suspension list a year or two ago. There was an overwhelming majority of hispanic and asian names. I hate to stereotype, but the list confirmed what I had gathered from my pier fishing days...
