Men Caught With Undersized Fluke At Captree State Park

ISLIP, NY - Two men were caught with undersized fluke at Captree State Park in Islip last month, according to the Department of Environmental Conservation.

An officer was on early morning patrol at the park when he saw two men fishing from a pier on Aug. 25.

When the officer asked whether they had caught any fish, the men said they had caught three.

An inspection of their cooler revealed three fluke, but when the officer measured the fish, they were all below the legal length of 19 inches.

The three fish were seized by the officer, and he issued one ticket for taking three undersized fluke.
