Unreal.., "Pro Poacher", "Vicious Dogs", "Genius Scheme" Nothing else to do on a friday night boys, but to schmere someones name on the internet. If you have something to say im sure he would welcome the call, or a home visit. Or at least get your facts straight, or at least know what your talking about.

Please let me know if I am mistaken, maybe there is some sort of error on the RISSA newsletter? Did RIDEM go to far, I mean arrest somebody for 4 fish, maybe it is a bit overkill...

It just seems to me by your persistance on this thread that this matter has really affected you personally. Rather than continue to fuel rumors, and accusations on the INTERNET you should give him a call and discuss the matters. Maybe it will give you some closure. |

Exactly. He was arrested for poaching. They documented and posted it. You decided to include it in your sermon and add comments that cannot be taken as fact. It certainly would be interesting to know the full story since he is an accomplished angler in our sport, but I certainly won't take anything an internet crusader tells me as truth simply because he says he has sources. Bassballer hit the nail on the head, you are personally affected by all of this for some reason. What's your angle broseph? |

Sad to see a young man with a reputation as a good fisherman exposed as someone who lacks respect for the resource and other fishermen. The size of the fine seems unlikely to change his attitude as well. Some negative publicity and peer disapproval doesn't strike me as undeserved in a case like this.

I have no angle, have nothing to benefit... Just curious as to why this was kept so quiet, after all this is the first person caught under the new poaching law in RI correct? I understand many of those that have fished with him will pile on me here since Robbie is a real good guy and "got caught with his hand in the jar". |

We all poach at some time in our fishing careers. Most of us just don't get caught.

Incorrect - the new law/fines went into effect AFTER this citation was Issued.
