Deputies Michael Maleta and Matthew Cory were on the Channel 5 Bridge just after midnight. They spoke with Adolph Tewari and Lenwall Joahrie, both 54, who were fishing. Joahries had a valid fishing license and Tewari’s had just expired. The deputies asked to see the men’s catch.
Tewari opened their cooler and showed the deputies 10 mangrove snapper and two grunts. Eight of the snapper were undersized.
The men were issued notices to appear in court for possessing the undersized fish.
