Fishermen Caught Illegally Netting 260+ Fish from 1 New York Pond

"Very sorry" wasn't enough to keep this group from erasing their massive mistake.

Typically when an Environmental Conservation Officer (ECO) get's a call about an unlawful fisherman, they're only breaking a few laws. It isn't all that common to have a crazy report pop up on their desk.

But that wasn't the case for this incident.

ECO Pabes was recently sent to Nassau County, responding to reports of multiple people freshwater fishing out of Seaman Pond at Twin Lakes Preserve in Wantagh. Though it's a popular spot among anglers, this group wasn't using any fishing poles.

Naughty Netters

Upon arrival, ECO Pabes saw an angler casting a net into the pond. He went over to meet with the group, who claimed to not have any fish or fishing licenses. It's one thing to lie to an officer, but what Pabes found got them in even deeper water.

The Best "Zoo" in New York is In a Tiny, Rural Upstate New York Village!

There are many excellent zoos in Upstate New York. Most of them (not all) are located in the larger cities like Binghamton, Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, etc. On the smaller, but no less wonderful size, Zoo New York is a special treat in the North Country (Watertown). But Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, NY (Broome County) stands heads and tails above them all (in this writer's opinion). It does not have all the whiz-bang, sophisticated accouterments one expects at a modern, urban zoo. But what it lacks in that category, it totally makes up for in charm, live animal encounters, and a drive-through zoo experience that is the best in the state. So, while we will never put Animal Adventure Park up against say, the Bronx Zoo and its million annual visitors, we think this rural park is outstanding in every way. Here are a bunch of reasons you should visit this amazing place this summer!
