Need stiffer penalties :uhuh:

Chump change and they did it before....and they will do it again! There should have been jail time involved!

Four guys, 228 fish in a 14 ft. boat????

they were shorts :rotf2:


they should have taken the boat.

Yeah their legal limit is 18 inches and these 228 were short.

look on the positive side .......if it was in RI .they NEVER would have been caught .......& if by some freak accident >.they were . the would have been given a warning & gas money for there troubles :smash:

take the boat and all the equipment. if there was a trailer take that to, f em, scumbags.

Imagine being the green cop who made the bust, sitting in the courtroom when the penalty was announced.
I'd be tempted to throw something at the judge, like my badge. :cens:

Wait till Imigration Reform..
All this will stop

There go 228 bass we will never see grow up to spawn.

I get so @+*%$ing pissed about this stupidity. When will it stop? How do we stop it? I don't have any answers anymore.

This site with 8,984 members and 649 active users would be a start however only a few give a care.
If JohnR didn't have higher priorities he would make a great leader to address these problems because people listen to him and react.

Ohh - I don't know about that but if we ever hit Power Ball I will hire someone that does :hee:

We need to get more judges hooked on fishing ... although the courts are not likely to take these matters more seriously ... too much trouble flooding the courts for them to care about this issue despite it having further reaching ramifications than they realize from an economic, livelihood and political standpoint ... there were some charter captains in the Florida Keys that got caught with lobsters during the off season, their cars and boats were confiscated and some of them went to jail with hefty fines ... but it's also because the lobster industry in Florida has very serious connections politically and economically - at least that state realizes the significance.

With that $$$$, we should be able to buy the judges.

fIN ,

That,s is one of the biggest problems / the judges ^ the legal system for the most part /just don,t get it ;
If the majority of high court officals were serious fisherman & were in tune to what is going on .It would have a much different result .

Some of the courts mix F & W violations on the same docket as criminal . & civil .
Soo went they are dealing with rape, car theif, eviction, etc & a case comes up with someone fishing without a license or better yet digging shellfish in pollutated water , if they don,t have a commercial license &&& in some cases even if they do ..
many officals truly feel WTF .. in the scope of what they see in a day ....... slap on the wrist ,, nickel & dime violations to them

Now if we had officials like the real Senator Chaffee I bet we would have seen real changes years ago :fury:

Every month I check the F&W arrests & enforcement violations ......... many show the offense & the penality they were given ...........trully a joke ><>:confused::fishin:

You are absolutely right Mike ... it has happened too much and continues to do so ... the sad thing is people are cutting their noses off despite their faces ... which is too bad as it hurts us all ...

That's disgusting.
Maryland (and all the other states) need to get serious about enforcement.
