During their surveillance, the Officers observed one of the anglers leave their fishing location to retrieve his vehicle from the Green Island parking lot, while the other angler stayed behind. ECO Pabes checked the first angler and found no fish in his possession while ECO Kochanowski observed the second angler walk a black duffle bag from under the bridge to hide it along the heavily vegetated bike path. Officers detained the anglers while they searched for the bag but released them after not initially finding it.
