FWC Law Enforcement Report
May 9, 2015
The Florida FWC Division of Law Enforcement reported the following activity during the weekly period ending May 7 in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
SANTA ROSA COUNTY
Officer Lewis, with assistance from Officer Ramos, had another busy weekend in the Blackwater State Forest. In addition to several citations issued for possession of alcoholic beverages in posted areas and driving on closed roads, they charged four subjects with possession of cannabis and possession of drug paraphernalia. Another charge for possession of hash oil is pending.
Officer Jones was on patrol on East Bay where he observed a fisherman in a kayak catch a redfish and put it on his stringer. When the fisherman left the fishing site, Officer Jones stopped him for a routine inspection. The fisherman was found to be in possession of three redfish with the bag limit being two fish per day. The man was charged with the violation.
FWC officers aboard the vessel FINCAT patrolled the Gulf of Mexico in both state and federal waters. During these patrols, several state and federal violations were discovered on several different vessels. Warnings were given for no state fishing license and possession of gray triggerfish during the closed season. Federal citations were issued to persons on different vessels in federal waters for being in possession of red snapper, gray triggerfish, gag grouper and failure to land greater amberjack in whole condition.
No report from Escambia County was submitted.

Just wow… what is it with all the drug use FWC seems to be detecting/citing? Why are all these dunces bringing dope into public areas? I was stopped a week or so back by FWC and asked that same question. His reply was that there is alot of that going on in that area… duh… we may need some SRCSO investigations targeting that very thing in that area.
I’m also curious to know why FWC would issue a warning for possession of grey triggerfish or red snapper. Everyone knows the season (whether or not it makes sense) is closed. FWC should be tossing the book at these wreckless violators. They know they have illegal fish, ticket them.
