I watched a 20'er fish just East of the Sag walking with the wife last year for over an hour. We walked one way, came back the other way, he was still there. We dawldled in the Sag bridge lot relaxing then left, and he was still there. Fished with no interference, and no luck.

I have seen the canal boats move people along, and the same boats come back 15 minutes later. The canal patrol comes back, moves them and does nothing else. Need to have one of the scofflaws sucked under a barge for something to be done.

That's all that they have the legal authority to do. They are all civilian employees of the US Army Corps of Engineers, and none of them--including the ones riding around in trucks wearing uniforms--have any law enforcement powers.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
