Man cited for fish violations

A 56-year-old Hialeah, Florida man was given a mandatory notice to appear in court citation after he was found with various undersized snappers on Saturday.

Marine Deputy Willie Guerra was on patrol near the Channel Five Bridge at approximately 2:30 p.m. when he observed a man, later identified as Lazaro Oliva Santos, fishing from the bridge.

A check of his catch revealed nine undersized yellow tail snappers, one undersized mangrove snapper and one undersized lane snapper. All measured under 11 inches.

Santos admitted to catching the fish.
