Fish
and wildlife officers busted a couple of people for electro-fishing
on the Apalachicola River in Jackson County last week.
Electro-fishing
is when a shocking device is used to stun the fish so they can be
lifted out of the water with a dip net.
It
is illegal in Florida.
Officer
Forehand was on water patrol on the Apalachicola River when he saw a
small boat occupied by three subjects.
He
noticed there were no fishing poles on board the boat.
As
he watched, one of the occupants placed electrical wires into the
water and it was determined the suspects were using an electric
shocking device to take fish.
Their
fish and the shocking device were confiscated and each of the adults
received a misdemeanor citation for taking freshwater fish by an
unlawful method.
