From FWC Press Release

Investigators with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) need the public’s help.

Sometime during the evening hours of Dec. 1 or early morning hours of Dec. 2 someone using the Davis Beach Boat Ramp (also called Research Road) on Tyndall Air Force Base unloaded and dumped at least 400 pounds of roe mullet, spotted seatrout, pompano, flounder, Spanish mackerel and bluefish at the ramp. The discarded fish were discovered by Tyndall staff on Dec. 2.

“All of the fish had marks showing they were caught by gill net,” said Investigator Neal Goss IV. “We hope someone will come forward and help us solve who did this.”

The use of certain types of nets for taking marine species is prohibited in Florida waters under the Florida Constitution.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Wildlife Alert hotline at 888-404-3922. Anonymity is guaranteed, and if the call leads to an arrest a reward may be paid.

Imagine the amount of people who don't get caught....

There is absolutely no excuse for that . Sounds like someone may have not checked their net for a couple of days , then were afraid to eat or sell the fish . Other than that , it just doesn't make any sense . I hope they get put under the jail for that .

I thought they lifted the ban on gill nets because of some idiot judge a month or 2 ago?

Yeah, rotten fish is however consumed by a number of cultures... Including but not limited to Nordic people, as well as some south pacific Island cultures. That being said though, lots of preparation goes into it, still, it is fermented year old fish...
