Make them pay

[Mr. Sandman]

I wonder if boaters took pictures of shore fishermen who trespass across private property, park illegally as well as keep untold amounts of under-size fish...would they arrest them?

Probably not. No one cares about fishing, not even the DMF. It's a sad state of affairs. IMO this is an unfixable problem in this state. No one will do what it takes.
FWIW: I have phoned the authorities about comm bass and charter guys taking undersized scup buy the boatload. I get an answering machine, leave a message and no one ever shows up to nab these guys. (I waited). Like I said, no one gives a %$%$%$%$.

I have come to believe that fishery laws are like speeding laws, their intent is to have a general rather than absolute effect. A certain level of non-compliance is expected and factored in as the law is designed.
I'm not saying it is right or fair, but only that it is what I see happening.
