I know it has been mentioned up on the Cape about 2 years ago. Maybe Severe Zero Tolerance Fines.... People are not stupid, Think its pretty common knowledge that the fish have not been inside 3 miles down there in two weeks... Lots and Lots of Poached Fish, Guess we will see less up north this year! I have not seen a single soulution mentioned anywhere..... Nor is any group taking Action, Why is StripersForever not taking action.... I am most certain they are most aware of what is going on down there. Imagine if they rallied for a real cause, a blatant abuse, Harvesting Striped Bass from an area that is closed and supposed to protect the stock...

So are you saying that people drop the dime on these guys and nothing is done? OR people just B&^%$ that nothing is done?
Both suck, one just due to laziness. |

Yeah, Id like to see what you would do, 5 boats fishing legally and 150 boats fishing illegally.... There was a guy running around out of Brooklyn, NY. Theres a hell of a black market in NY, NJ... Makes some of the Northern Brothern look like amatures... Anyway, he was running around reporting these guys, wasnt long before he found his nice regulator sunk in the slip... Some guys got hit with a few hundred dollar fines, and he was out well over 100K, no boat for the season.... |

Reports can be made without making your name apparent. I'm willing to bet he was also quite vocal about what he was doing. |

The federales can't do a helicopter flyover video. Too easy to bag a bunch if motivated. One in a million target bluefish. Use logic if that even exist anymore.
A few years ago at scorton ledge, must have been 50 battle wagons and disco boats jigging up piles of nice fish, we were at the edge drifting live eels, of course the EPO board us first. Find nothing wrong, after small talk fishing and patriots,they get an emergency call and scram. Meanwhile the rest of the boats had dumped their coolers because it wasn't a com day or they were over the limit. Water was littered with belly up bass.
One would be a fool not to think that this is normal fishing practice for the majority of jerks that fish. If we can't police ourselves, someone else will do it for us. And I don't think we will like that dance.
We have met the enemy and he is us.

Nice, I guess we a a society should always turn a blind eye for fear of retribution. Interesting, most law enforcement I know of encourage community involvement... |

It's becoming very apparent that you are the only person that has any idea about anything. |

I say call'em all in, but you best believe you better be ready for the outcome unless you are being very careful about it.
A few of the guys I fish regularly with on the Cape grew up in the Carolinas and are OBX surf regulars. I've been hearing the stories for years of how fishing disputes get resolved down there, and it isn't with a pleasant conversation where people agree to disagree. If those folks thing you've done then wrong, then they are going to find a way to wreck your boat/truck/gear, and are not above taking a potshot at you to make their point.
