Hey all,

I have a question for you all. How many of you all have a active game warden on you lake, River or what ever body of water????? Do you see him or her? does he or she make there rounds daily? The reason I'm asking is here on my local lakes there seems to be a lack of or a a lazy one. There is so many poacher's here and they are catching and keeping everything!!!!! bass limit is 5 and minnium of 12 inches, They have 20. Most of the time they are nice ones but they also have little ones all strung up >. When Crappie season hits thats when they really come out of the wood works they bring 5 gal buckets and fill them to the brim with every size > man this makes me so ticked off, I pay every year for a liscense and theses people just go out and exploite the system, They don't care. When I see this I comfront them and say hey your not supossed to be doing this, Do you know the rules and limits???? They just look at me smiling and act like they don't understand english .

Sorry I just have to vent

and i do tell the park people this, but it seems its going in deaf ears, most of the times

HI and welcome to the best fishing site on the web.

I may have missed something, but I don't seem to see where YOU called fish and wildlife to report the illegal activity.

The F&W resources are stretched pretty thin.

There's an old saying "The squeaky wheel gets  the grease"

It's fine to vent here, but it won't solve your problem.

I suggest you call F&W on your cell phone EVERY time you see a violator.  Urge your friends to do the same.  Write a polite letter to the department describing what you are telling us.

I'll bet you will get results.

good luck and have fun,

avid

Avid,

Your right I haven't called F&G personnely, but I have told the park personnel on several occasions. I would think in turn they would take the aproperate action.

I will call them though myself, I just hate to see this happening.

*Update*

I called F&G just now and they said they will look into it

Wind carries away spoken words, written words are forever, if you are TELLING the personnel and they are not doing anything time to step up in the ladder of donkeycy ( in Spanish we cal them BURROcratas, BURRO = donkey ) by writting a report to the head of the personnel. And if one report isn 't enough then you can send as many as fast as you can print them out. And if that doesn 't work, step up more on the ladder.
