A 31-year-old Stock Island man was given a mandatory notice to appear in court citation early Thursday morning after he was caught harvesting illegal mangrove snapper and gag grouper. Deputy Jonathan Lane was on patrol at 1 a.m. on the south end of the Boca Chica Bridge when he spotted Midelson Petit fishing, Monroe County Sheriffâs Office spokesman Adam Linhardt said. Deputy Lane asked if he had any luck and Petit said yes. Deputy Lane observed an open bucket that appeared to have small mangrove snapper on top. Petit had 13 mangrove snapper, 10 of which were less than the 10-inch legal size to harvest. The daily bag limit is 10 per angler.
