Wardens wrote several tickets for short fish at little river marina yesterday afternoon. On Gewber got 7 tickets for 7 shorts. These guys get criticized sometimes for what we see as non enforcement but they are spread very thin in Cherokee County and really do their best.
[emoji106]. They get a lot of grief from folks that break the laws and those who think they aren’t doing their job. Takes a special person to do a thankless job.

That’s good to hear. Glad they are out there trying to protect our resources as much as they can
Glad to hear they are out checking what they can!
Good to hear they were out and about checking people!
That’s an encouraging report for sure. I believe the inability to enforce state game laws effectively is the primary reason for anglers perceived notion of a shortage of good crappie.

Wish there would of been one on Neely Tuesday, had a single boater 8 gunning out the front. It’s always good to here and see the wardens/ water patrol out doing their job. Wish we had more around, up in Ky we had 3-4 times as many and most know us and just waved and went on. They knew we were in compliance of the rules and the law.

I'm glad to hear that.
I can't remember the last time I saw a game warden. I wish there was a way to get them more resourses but it seems this state has other priorities.
Maybe they should allow all law enforcement officers to enforce state regulations.
Been checked more in the last year than I have in my whole life

Yep they Wright a lot a Neely Henry dam. Unfortunately I the most are a waste of time because they are from Georgia and probably don't pay them anyway.

I for one am glad to see them out there. I have seen people keep fish. that were a set of eyes and a tail fin. These rules were set up for a reason
With everything loaded into computers these days I bet they DO pay up, especially since a driver license # is tied to out of state license sales.Quote:

I'm betting most of the people area citizen's of America. I've seen them keep way to many stripe bass and get a ticket. The story I hear is they sell them back in Georgia. Most have fake IDs.

I have had a dozen or so encounters with GWs in my life. There was one *******. He retired long ago but he is a legend around here as an *******. The rest were all very respectful. They are people who enjoyed the outdoors like we do, just decided to make a career out of it.
I can’t stand disrespectful poachers. I see people do that all the time in Sippi. I call the game and fish when I do. Some idjits think they’re above the law. [emoji35]Quote:

I proceeded to tell him it was nice to know how my Licenses fee was being used and also gave him advice that if he would write them up then take them down to the county Jail and put them in there , that when someone came looking for them ,just collect the fine for them to get them out of jail... Said they could not do that it was a form of harassment... there was more to the conversation but lets just say he left red faced and my blood pressure was up a bit!!sad excuse of the situation if you ask me
Glad to hear they doing their job...recognizing they are few.
Had one stop all the boats on Cotaco last fall. Ticketed three in a boat for not having fishing licenses. What is disappointing is the attitude of those ticketed for fishing without a license. They kept fishing. I guess they thought too bad, I already have a ticket...what you are going to do to me now...:banghead
