Numbskull, what we need is a unversal poaching bill that not only penilizes the poachers, but the buyers as well. A bill that is not clear, as to what the penility will be is a useless process that will never be enforced.
What good is a fine on those whom defy the odds and may get caught once, pay a fine and still continue to poach. They call that the price of doing business in the illegal trade of poaching striped bass. The same holds true to those who purchase these illegal fish.
The system of poaching is so entrenched in our culture today that most find it normal rather then an aberation. Stop those from buying the illegal caught fish and you will be better off in the end. Enforcing the laws at the fish market and penalizing the fish market and other outlet stores would go a whole lot further in reducing the poaching process for the overall benifit of saving the striped bass resource for the future, for every one.Both commercial and recreational user groups.
By the way how is the injury going?? I expect by my next visit you should be ready to dance?
