By "non english speaking", I assume you mean people from foreign countries that like to fish. Why is that a problem? I'm not trying to start anything, but I hear this very often and I know and understand the thought process about following the reg's and littering issues that are beaten like a rented mule. So, possibly a bad choice of words? Or, as I touched on, an incomplete thought process?
Again, I'm not trying to start any conflicts over the issue. I just think we need to be careful not to lump people into catagories because of nationality, or any other criteria.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand; Luckily, I saw a lot of this coming and got rid of the gas hog Dodge Ram that required a dedicated refinery in order to commute to work during the week and bought a Toyota pickup that I'm very happy with. I also downsized my boat. If I wasn't working so much, I'd fish as much as I normally do. Thankfully the mandatory overtimes are starting to taper off in time for the fall. Saved some vacation time, and will be hitting it pretty good soon.
