NY Regulators

How come the NY regulators for fishing don't visit the fish markets? I was at a market and right in front was a very short striped bass. The guy said it was caught in the river, but gave it a different name.

Call the DEC. They can't see everything that is going on and rely on the regular guy to give them information.

There are also farm raised stripers and this guy may have been pulling your leg. If it was caught in the Hudson it is illegal.

Call the DEC anyway and let them know what you saw, what the guy said and where it was.

What fish market was it? If it is close by me I would love to go see it.
