We face the same problem up here in Canada. No matter how many times I call DFO or DNR they say they will be there but never show up. But as soon as you try and do somthing about it then they turn around and say "leave it up to the authorities" bla blah blah. Ok then how about you show up for once!!. One fella was on the beach as I was launching the boat he was there with a bunch of kids and had about 6 shorts no bigger than 22". I told him they have to be 27" and that I was calling DNR he just looked at me and said that the kids caught them which ment they were legal, Ok buddy I jsut shook my head and was on my way. No need to get in a fist fight on the beach but deep down inside I felt like giveing him a few smacks .
. Makes me sick i tell ya. You know its bad when ya got the poaching hotline # on speed dial in your cell phone.
