to the warden and biologist at Engineer Point. They said that they had been issued quite a few citations for more than 3 poles. Bet they learn to count after they pay that $400.00 fine.
Keep up the good work, guys.:highfive

Wow that is a stiff fine right there. Is it $400 for the offense or do they stripe offenders that much per pole over 3? If it was per pole, that would likely prevent it from occurring very often!
Wowwwwww that's high
That will teach em
15 fish is 15 fish...pole limits are stewpit! JMO
AMEN TO THAT Feelay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks feelay, nuff sad!Quote:

You mean you cant carry a spare pole?

Yep and rules are rules and the law is the law even if you disagree with themQuote:

I respect you, and many others on this site. My apology is genuine. It was never my intention to make you think that I do not also respect the law. I do.
I obey, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.
They were fishin with more than 3Quote:

Everyone needs to remember the people that caused us to have to fish with three poles are the same geezers who are out there now on the pontoon boats with half a dozen people and a dozen and a half poles pulling cranks.
Most people I've seen are running 3 each. Gotta be a fool to think you ain't being watched. I know one thing for sure. If Bandit is on the stock market BUY BUY BUY. Never seen so many cranks pulled in my life this year.
There are plenty of fools at Grenada. Fishing too many poles there is common practice.
When I do get to go fishing, I have hell trying to get 3 fish to the boat at one time!I a'int as young as I used to be!I still would like 5 better!But if they give you 5 they prolly will take 5 more fish away!Quote:

I'm with Feelay....I'll obey but I don't have to like it.
Seen em at engineers today. They was putting the small boat in as we were leaving the marina. When we were heading back to the marina they was tied off at the end of the marina pier looking at something in a big house boat
