There will always be a percentage of personalities who are
impervious to rules. Especially if they are not enforced....they
consider it a green light.
This goes for boat, canal, and surf fisherman.
I have witnessed guys in the montauk surf during the fall run take
dozens of fish. The fact that some easily ignore previous years
regulations without consequence, only suggests that it will continue
if unchecked. The same goes for charters that harvest fish for black
market....or the guys in the canal filling their trunks with blitz fish.
Peer pressure and frowns are not enough of a deterrent.
I know that it is traditional for a marine license to be free or near
free, but I would gladly pay $50 or more for a license if it meant the fishery
would have better enforcement.
