Thread: I turned around at the ramp yesterday.

call someone does no good to post it on a forum

This has been discussed and beat to death on this forum. We all are different in our reactions and what we would do. Right tho, shouldn't have made the post.

The important informational aspect of the post (from my viewpoint) is that someone, somewhere managed a LIMIT. I had two keepers each of the last two days. Not my best outings.

You and I know it happens all the time, boatbottom....mostly by the locals, and mostly this time of year. And you're right about beatin' the horse. But it hurts me to see it, too.

but it's the spider riggers that hurt the lakes LOL

If no one stands up and says anything it'll never change. I at least carry mine back to the house and swap out coolers lol

If it is painful to watch...Report him...he is stealing from us all..

I am probably fixxin to make some folks mad but here goes.
We fish, most of here, 12 months out of the year. Some guys only catch crappie in the spring and when they get in em they stay in em and they take a chance on getting caught just like anyone else running 80 up the interstate. A law is a law and I don't feel anyone is stealing from anyone else, I don't own the fish until I catch it, its free range.
If you feel strongly about it call and report the problem much like you would do if you saw a drunk driver on the road and move on. I just don't let what anyone else does bother me unless it is causing harm to me and mine.
Not condoning what they are doing but I figure with a tip or two to the GW and they will catch up with them and they will pay much like the situation on the lake last summer.
By the way, most of these guys won't keep a 1000 fish in a years time and I am sure I keep more than that in a year, heck a lot of yall get to eat some of them.
