Last week, Jefferson County Wardens stopped a fishing boat as it returned to port at Sabine Pass. The wardens found the five fishermen aboard the vessel to be in possession of 15 very large red snapper. Evidence found on board suggested that the fish were caught in federal waters which are currently closed to the recreational harvest of red snapper. A brief interview with the captain of the vessel confirmed the wardens’ suspicions. State citations were issued to the fishermaen for catching and keeping the red snapper. The fish were seized and donated.
