Not bad enuff that the fishing sux but apparently this ole boy didn't have his ducks in a row, the officer was on a four wheeler checking folks.
Cant remember this young mans name but Keith trained him and ifn he's anything like Keith he will do his job, always nice but if you out of line he does his job.

That's great to see. I wish he would trade his four wheeler in for is boat and come up here to Sardis and start checking folks on the water. We could use some help. Seems the 3 pole limit per person doesn't apply to everyone or so they think.

Kinda thought that may have been what he got this guy for, he was in a boat with a partner, next thing I know he's on the bank with the warden and his ticket book and the other guy went on up the creek fishing.
He works, you can count on that.
No kiddin Yikes, I have noticed a lot of em on Grenada fishing over the limit on poles also.Quote:

Yikes there were folks turned in to the wardens via cell phone pictures on Sardis. They think they are getting away with it but I guess will be surprised when they get a picture in the mail and a ticket. Just urks me that folks think they can be above others and break the rules that most of the guys are following. I even asked one boat if they knew they were breaking the law and was told they didn't care. Gave him the benefit of the doubt but after that comment I hope he enjoys his ticket. Saw a bunch of tickets wrote there for shorts too. Glad to see they are working at the lakes I visited. You don't have to say anything just snap a picture including there boat numbers is all that's needed!
Without you being willing to be a witness that ticket will never stand up in court. To each their own, I just don't let it bother me. I do rite for the most part but if I get caught in the wrong and get a ticket you will never here me whine about it, warden is just doing his job.Quote:

I heard they gonna get some Drones with video camera's and start catching folks that way! :) Reality of it is that only a fraction of people breaking most laws actually ever get caught.
Shorts? I'm guessing it has nothing to do with dress code. Fish that are shorter than the slot limit?Quote:

Shorts are fish shorter than the legal limit. Sardis 11 in, Butla Enid Grenada 12 in. Fish has to be longer than those numbers to be legal. I have my golden rule for measuring fish marked at 11 and 1/4 and 12 and 1/4. If they don't touch that mark it goes back.Slot limit is another animal altogether. That means in most cases any fish in-between two numbers must be returned. Let's say Slot on Bass 12 to 18. Anything between those numbers would have to be returned.If you see something you don't understand just ask. Some one will help you out. Great thing about this board is there are no dumb questions.
He would have had to get wet to check me if i was in a boat and he was on the bank
No he wouldn't. He would holler at you and you would do just like that ole boy did. You'd hustle yourself right on over and take your beatin like a good boy.Quote:

You cant be mad with them for doing their job, have never had a bad experience with a warden.
I've only had one bad exp. with the possum patrol in my life ( and i won in court ), i know they are just doing their job and respect them for that. That being said, i dont have to do half their job for them, if i'm in a boat on the the lake they can either come out on the lake and check me, or check me at the ramp, i do the same when fishing at the spillway, i wont stop fishing and walk up to the top of the rocks for them to check me, they have to walk down to me, i'm not doing anything wrong, so why should i have to stop what i'm doing to make their job easy for them?, and dont say out of respect and courtsey, because that wouldnt be showing any on their part by wanting me to come to them.
had a couple boat up to me one time. they ran through the only top that we were catching them in. they motored in and grabbed the gunnel like we were gonna run off. they checked us and turned around and prop washed us when they went on to harass the next fellow. they were in the 99.8% that give the rest a bad name.
New law in AR. drinks must be in a coolie ??????
