this makes me so mad

Sometimes, late at night, I fish the Saugus River mouth. I see lots of other fishermen (predominantly southeast Asian) and I see them retain undersize fish all the time. 2 weeks ago, around a midnight high slack tide a blitz commenced, all schoolies. I saw 12 fish all <20 inch poached in less than 20 minutes. It is a bit unnerving consdering I have been catching consistently smaller fish this season. More to that, these fishermen, seem to keep anything they pull out of the water, dogfish, toadfish and eels. I guess when your fishing to eat, ethics are thrown to the wind, but- when you include the price of bait, gas money spent, tackle and cigarettes, it would be cheaper to buy farm raised striped bass or whole bluefish out of Demoula's.

DEPORT THEM ALL!

I hate it when a few morons of my race decided to break the law and give us all a bad name. John R. is correct.. Asians are not the only offenders. I have confronted folks that kept and kill under size fishes. Of course, I usually just say "You know, that is too small. Is it worth all your fishing equipment and fines when the environment police catch you?" Then I walk away... It is not smart to confront anyone.. You do not know what they have in their boxes or under their clothes.. Guns and knives can be easily concealed. Trust me.. I am trained in that field.

Anyway, My brother and myself love fishing and we do learned and used lures that we brought from some of you. We do not keep undersize fish.. We simply snap a photo and let it go on its merry way...

We do keep a couple of Blues (3lbs) since it has no size limit.. Up till now, we have not caught any legal size Stripers.. all Schoolies so far.. and All released..

so! do not let a few morons create a hate for us asians.

it's an invasion. hell, we don't need DEP, we need the friggin INS to come in and enforce our poaching laws.

This is true bttfish,, I would never extend my feelings towards the many law-abiding citizens of any race...It upsets me more of the "fact" thats going on then the "culprits" doing it...

I don't know what exactly is going on around my particuliar area but I have a idea and it either involves a oversea's market or local restaurant..
Not too long ago one of our partyboats in the same area was snagged in a opertaion of poaching undersized "live" Tautog
by a group of certian individuals ...
The capt./owner of the boat we believe was also involved.. Fines were handed down after a undercover sting caught a bunch of them
but this boat is still in business today..

Here's my thoughts on poaching ...

1st offense = cut off a finger from each hand, and take all their gear.

2nd offense = cut off a hand, and take all their gear.

3rd offense = cut off a leg, take all their gear and their vehicle because now they can't drive anyway.

4th offense = SHOOT 'EM IN THE HEAD!

oh, and take all their gear.

Being racist takes up way too much energy. Go fishing.

[fishpoopoo]

i say toss them and their 5-gallon buckets outta the country.

Bassturbed seems to come down on the extreme side of many issues and I think he's a bit of a nut BUT I have to agree with him on this subject. I can't believe I said that!

I'm closing this thread as it is getting away from anything good and can be classified somwhere between a bad though occasioally funny joke and a personal attack...
