whats makes me kinda mad

Postby marcusn » Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:02 pm

fishing near mikimiki pt. today. using a white rapala x rap caught a big largemouth. maybe around 2 pounds. there were some old asian guys next to me catching tucs on live bait. but instead of releasing them they just threw them in some mesh bag ready to cook them up to eat. mustve had like 5 tucs in that bag. i thought it was illegal to keep tucs and bass. kind of mad because i dont think they stock the tucs like they stock the largemouths. what if they keep catching and keeping??? even if you can keep them im sure you cant keep 5.

Some cultures don't fish for the sport of it, but to sustain themselves. Yes, as long as the rules are posted that all bass are catch & release, we should abide by these rules (law actually), but some catch & release, into the grease! :lol:

About the only thing you can do, especially on the week end, is call 911.
DLNR is way understaffed.
Yes, all bass.... largemouth,smallmouth, and peacock are C&C in Lake Wilson.

That's terrible. Do they have no shame. There must be something else we can do?

I think we should post catch and release signs in different languages.

It wouldn't make a difference. They know the bass are C&R, they just use the no speak english as an excuse not to talk to you.
