If the regular places are know, why aren't they nailing these poachers, is this just about time of day and man power?

I spoke to an EP in my area who basically said there’s like a 100 of them state wide and add in days off vacation and sick time you might have 40 active daily.

And I blame leadership if we know the times and places these people operate so do they .. Just having a EP truck in the parking lots or a an officer on the bike path. Wouldn’t stop it completely but it would help

That’s 2 officers in a small area of known poaching it’s not Rocket science

So let me tell you, 50 guys at the RR Bridge on the breaking tides last week. Pure insanity. Crossed lines, killing fish like they were stocked trout.
I was East of the bridge and hung a really good fish at dawn. 36# on my Manley scale and back in. I'm resuscitating this big girl and a "gentleman" of a differnet culture came over to me and said "give me that fish" to which I told him to shove it up his A$$. I also told him that as a Veteran I would have no problem killing him if he didn't get the &^&%$$ away from me. He understood! Absolute zoo!

There are 2 really bad areas. Everyone knows them. The EPOs know it as well. They could assign a Bourne cop as back up in case some a-hole tries to get rough with an EPO. I saw how they worked together about 15 years ago when they busted 2 lobster poachers.
