It  doesn't matter what race you are.  Rules are rules and I'm glad you did what you did.  

I've seen it here many times as well.  Mexicans and asians mainly, thinking the rules don't apply to them.  It's just plain wrong.  I'm Mexican and I abide by the rules - i was taught better.  

Unfortunately the problem will probably get worse before it gets better.

Great post!

If that pond was one of "my" ponds, I would see to it that the man is arrested and banned from the pond indefinately.

Hey Kent,

do you know the definition of "indefinitly"?

If not remind me when we're at the fork.

I doubt it would get that far with you RW.  Don't you have a lisence to carry?   lol

I just hope that no one who fishes that pond sees him or his big galoot of a friend up there again. Unfortunately activity like tis isn't limited to just this pond that I fish...it runs RAMPANT out at Busch Wildlife. And there definitely never seems to enough game wardens out there...

this kind of reminds me of traffic laws.  People will slow down instead of stop at a stop sign sometimes, or speed a little once in awhile, like many of us.

But there are those, who never make full stops or speed by alot all of the time.

I feel pretty certain that you can get away with occasional travesty but if your a routine offender, sooner or later your gonna get busted.

I think in a way I just stumbled upon a "New Year Resolution" (I never make any "resolutions :) of sorts. I am really tired of people disrespecting our, and when I say our, I mean everyone's, fisheries by disregarding regulations that have been put in place for the sake of that fisheries health. You had better believe that any time I see disregard for these rules if the situation permits (and is safe), I will definitely be piping up. If my friendly reminders are not heeded, then I will just go straight for the jugular and call DNR or a game warden and make them aware of the situation. I am just really tired of people disregarding these rules as if they are optional or don't mean anything. It's our sport that suffers when these folks do these things. Is it hard to make a difference in this matter? Yes...but I think the more of us take the initiative and take it upon ourselves to help police our public waters we can make a difference. I for one, definitely will be stepping it up a notch.

Step it up a notch!

Good for you.

One more tip: If the DNR doesn't respond, call the Attorney Generals office. They are bureaucrats and have nothing better to do than mess with other agencies in the state. I assure you, your State Senator's office will also respond. Calling is the first step, but a written letter (snail mail or e-mail) will ALWAYS get them involved.

three letters to remember C.C.W.

I hate people that will be so selfish as to take and take from the land like that. The Game Warden is a good friend of mine we even go to the same bibl study. Needless to say I would never hesitate to tell him about any violations. Things like wildlife reg violations make me hate the average person sometimes!!!
