Mr green jeans is on the spot

On Martin. I've never been checked in fifty years until last weekend. Now I've been checked every time I've been out since. Which it needed some attention . I try my best to be legal , but I know a few that are sketchy. One guy that got stopped said somebody complained that somebody was posting alotta pics of fish on the net. To the conservation dept. so they started checking closer. I hope I didn't cause this because I post a lot but the catch is always legal. I did post one day that I had a double limit. But that was two peeps on boat , 60 fish. There is one guy on the lake that's a prick. Never ran across many people like him. Wouldn't doubt he was causing most of this being he thinks he owns the Lake. Lol

It is a pain, but it is always nice to have a warden around that will actually get out and show his face every now and again. The legal people will be always be legal and the sketchy ones will more than likely be legal after seeing him a few times. We used to have a great warden in north Bama he would get out and talk about fishing and deer hunting. He would also answer any questions you had about laws and stuff, but he move away and the one we have now wont hardly get out of his truck to check anyone, but if he does I honestly think he would just assume write you a ticket as he would check you and you be legal.

Lemme guess who that near golf course creep is,,haven't been cause weather and flu,strep whatever the last 2 weeks,hope to get out soon!that pics posted sounds like bs to me,,,,cs

Keep posting em BAMA S we know you are legal as most on here are.im glad to hear that the man in green is loose on MARTIN.i sure wish that him and all his buddy's from near and far would come to GUNTERSVILLE in boats and especially the causeways way to many morning and evening limits being took by same folks and lots of shorts being taken .someting must be done or out a big X on GUNTERSVILLE.

Ive never minded being checked. Matter of fact that's what we pay for licenses for....to pay the wardens so they'll be out there to help protect our resources. I really hope they catch and prosecute the bad guy youre talking about.:)

Just doing his job. Glad one shows up every once in a while. It would be nice if they would catch some of the unsafe boaters out there.

I wished I'd be checked every single trip since I do my best to stay legal, I just wished everyone else got checked also. I've seen guys on the bank fill 5 gallon buckets with 6 inch. Crappie.

True. It's a positive thing for him to have a presence. I just hope he gets the ones that need to be gotten. Everybody I know that's been stopped has had a positive experience with him. They are very professional in there procedures. No complaints on my end. Just curious as to who was complaining. My guess it's the pier owner that runs everybody off from his area. He's very power hungry and a control freak. Some of the guys he's confront wanted to all get together and go anchor in front on his pier and fish all day. I kinda laughed. To much sugar for the dime for me. Lord it must be a miserable life to fuss at people all day.

Yea would like to see him around here, some people keep them if they have eyes.

I've been checked a number of times over the years. All very positive engagements with the man. They all seem to be more than happy to share info with you if you ask a few questions. Glad to hear they are out.

Keep up the good work Bama.

I was checked in the CACC tournament on Martin. They were nice enough; just checked our license and registration and didn't bother looking in the livewell.

Wife and I got checked at the boat ramp a few weeks ago. He was very pleasant and only checked our licenses. Live well was empty anyway since the wind blew me off the water.

It always seems that the legal people are the ones that get checked and they are never around when you see things going on that would get a person a citation. Here on the big G the new way of poaching crappie is to use a type of treble hook that has a chrome coated weight around the shaft between the hook eye and the hooks .They snag fish it unless they see the man then they try to fish it like a spoon or just let it go to the bottom. A lot of the fish I catch around the bridges now have deep scratches on their sides and bellies where they have been hit by this "lure". The short Game warden I talked to about this type of fishing said he would write them up if he"saw "them snatching when using that or any type of heavy treble hook lure. I told him he wouldn't have to look very hard if he showed up in plain clothes! He did give me a number to call to report any violation but they will only get there a day late and a dollar short .

Not enough wardens. I see people from Ga. who put in in Ga. and come down the river to Weiss, keep short fish and run back to Ga. where there is no size limit. I have talked to Game Warden and they said they were going to try to set up and check sometime. However with turkey season opening they will be stretched thin.

The way you fish during the week when we are working SHOULD be illegal ! :biggrin

Nothing wrong with that as long as they are nice and quick. Never had a bad experience with the game warden, now the water patrol guys can be a pain sometimes. I've even been checked by the state troops on the water and they where nice.
