What I have seen around here has been mostly families of I think Guatemalans and then smaller groups of 3 or 4 Chinese and sometimes Vietnamese men. Families (sometimes 15 or 20 people) seem to always be on the shore in a few spots near Middletown, they keep a lot of small fish, but I am sure they eat them and need the food. Of course if they were working and not sitting in those 2 or 3 spots sort of hidden off the road all day every day, all summer long, maybe they wouldnt need to keep illegal fish.
The Asian guys pop up all over, will plop down on your shoulder and fish right on top of you. I see them target blackfish more often than bass, but they keep every fish they catch.
I don't want to drive this thread off into the woods on a rant about illegals and their fishing practices but it bugs me to see people dump on legal fishermen (yes charter guys count) who may have legitimate reasons for trying to get the exception of the 2nd fish.
It just grinds my gears when I know any of us that can't fake a foreign language and pretend to not understand the DEM officer, would get hammered doing the stuff some of these illegals get away with all season long.
