I have dropped the dime on them twice to DEM an nothing seems to happen. Theese guys are really starting to piss me off...


They drive a silverish/light blue/white pickup w/mass plates.
2-4 Hispanics, white poles.

Did you notice if they had a tag for possibly being farm raised Stripers?

It's one of those small things in life that you should not sweat - it's almost inconsequential in comparison to habitat destruction and commercial by-catch. The poachers can poach all they like and they'll still be poor.

I've seen those in the Super 88. They are farm raised and or Hybrid Stripers.
