The U.S. Coast Guard stopped three fishermen accused of illegally fishing in federal waters off southern Texas Saturday and seized hundreds of pounds of red snapper.

In a news release, the Coast Guard’s 8th District Public Affairs Detachment Texas announced that crew members aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Benjamin Dailey reported the illegal activity to watchstanders at the Coast Guard Sector Corpus Christi command center in Corpus Christi, Texas.
 

The fishermen were reportedly aboard a lancha, a slim motorboat that typically measures between 20 and 30 feet, when the Coast Guard intercepted their fishing venture, according to the Coast Guard’s news release.

The three-person lancha crew was approximately 37 miles north of the Maritime Boundary Line, the federal security agency reported.
