taking shorts
 

when i was fishing at gooseberry and not catching anything there was a couple of (non english speaking guys) catching 14 - 16 inch bass about 100 feet away. they would pull it in and fillet it up on the causeway then throw the carcus in the rocks on the causeway. now my first instinct is to go find the EP or a statey or something, but then i started thinking about my safety since there was like 8 of them there. but it really piss ed me off to see them do that. am i wrong?

put ep and dem #'s on your cell and call on those peices of s#!t. just because they don't speak english - no excuse to break our laws :mad:

You were right to look out for number 1......next time slash the tires on the toyota they arrived in when you leave! :laugha:

Rofl

anyone got the number for ep or dem cause i would have called right away.....from the safety of my car...

Keep the AAA phone number handy and when you feel the need to slash somebodys tires....leave it on their windshield! :laugha:

what would i say if i was to call on someone taking shorts. is ther a special division that handles this. is it even worth calling....is there usually someone around that can respond quickly?

i dont know about mass, but here in RI, the DEM has guys in green trucks all over the state.. These guys are HUNGRY to bust poachers..

I watch this go on lots of times in the town river (Quincy) when coming into my dock!
There is usually Oriental guys fishing off the beach and when they hook into a baby fish they start running backwards up into some trees and on ce out of sight they start reeling in and you see the SMALL schoolie skipping up arcoss the beach and uo towards the trees!!!
One of these days I'm going to have target practice on them with the sling shot and ball bearings I save at work , I keep on my boat!!!

please explain this???

Don't put yourself in a dangerous situation.
Remember: these people have an attitude about the country that has saved them from the negative factors of their homelands. It is a wierd concept to those of us of immigrant ancestors who respect our nation. Keep this in mind:these folks are protected by our Senior Senator and his Liberal friends. Hopefully, someday, Americans will reclaim America and those who disrespect our nation and laws will be asked to join us, or....leave.

See, i've learned something today, too. I had no idea that Ted votes to protect poachers. :confused:

Eben, explain? In my generation, the 60's, if an non-English speaking person was caught catching shorts, he would not be able to use the excuse."No speak English, and let me call my ACLU lawyer." Today, I believe, the assumption is: the government is picking-on the poor, hapless , immigrant. IMHO, and I am open to your point of view. Notaro, point taken.

call me crazy but it sounds like you feel that ted kennedy is protecting them... I really doubt that.

Eben, let me stop the political theme I started. I don't believe Kennedy condones illegal action; I do believe he will find any and all reasons to "explain" illegal actions by groups he has a political vested interest in.... If that makes any sense. I am sick and tired of immigrant groups acting deaf, dumb, and blind about our laws governing fish and wildlife conservation. Immigrant groups in the past certainly acted similiarly; but, the "excuses" were not acceptable, IMHO.

The only thing that Ted Kennedy protects is his scotch!!!
F*#^ing peice of schiet drunk!!!

Don't you really mean....."F*#^ing peice of schiet COVERING UP GIRLFRIEND KILLING, CHILD OF RICH PARENTS, COAT-TAIL RIDING, BLOATED drunk!!!.......... :laugha:

:topic: :topic: :topic: :topic: :topic: :topic:

ok i was just wondering how to protect the baby fish that will someday grow up to be the cows that we all dream about.....didnt want to turn this into a political juncket. my biggest concern is that i call and the people that answer the phone dont really care for the fish they just collect a pay check!

well, if they didnt know abt the regulation, just take a picture of them and let them make a party out of it without realizing it... :devil:

HOLD ON...let's keep this in perspective, there's nothing wrong with protecting One's Scotch. :buds:

4' gaff would have done the trick.......That crap pisses me off like you wouldn't believe!!!! :fishslap:

Their Number in Ma. is 800-632-8075
This is a radio room number after which they can contact the closest appropriate EP.

thanks lt d2. now we can all put it in our cells.

take the photo and hand it to the EP..... give them the location and I'm sure they will love handling the situation.... there are not enough EP's to go around but with hard evidence they will prosecute

ri dem enforcement# 401-222-3070

Maloney, the EP don't give a damn what creed or color they are, they will nail them.

They don't give a chit what Kennedy thinks.

thanks for the number i now have it stored in my cell.

On those immigrants taking shorts
 

Here in California, a piece of the fishs' skin must remain on the fillet of any fish taken so when you're checked by a conservation officer, proof of size is intact. Maybe this is something that should be considered by the powers that be in Ma. RI Ct...although as I originally come from RI this would probably take two generations to come to pass.
