I got nothing against boat guys, If I could afford one, I'd have one
I know this will seem harsh to some because after all, you cant equate people with "stupid" fish
but think about it
Someone harass your daughter and it’s a fine or jail.....you might think its excessive
does that give that someone a right to rape her too because you are away and no one will do anything about it? Because that’s what they are doing, raping the resource, right under our noses AND bragging about it
So yeah, sink their boats..... human greed has no limits. Sad thing is its all done by recreational community. We are our own worst enemies

Don't be sorry. I didn't live where you did but I did do a few trips in East Germany in the mid 80s so while I haven't lived repression, I've seen it.
I'm all for harsh penalties, enforced, comm or rec. Throw the book, take the boat (or truck). I'm OK with it.
