What would you have done?

[opsirc]

you made the right call! if we all did nothing violations would sky rocket, in the end there would be nothing left. ther TIP line line was sent up to help COs and other LE agencies catch and fine offenders.

[Daze Off]

I agree with everyone else - you get an attaboy for yoru efforts!

[reddog]

Am I wrong in assuming that they were targeting rough fish?

If so, then its a stupid law to begin with and I would have a hard time making the call.

Just because you don't agree with a law doesn't give anyone the right to break it. I'm sure it's in place to protect spawning fish that my be in shallow.

I think the one line rule is about as dumb as it gets, but I won't use two lines unless I'm in the river where it's legal.

That may be true, but because I think it is a dumb law, I wouldn't have made the call. If they were taking walleyes or northerns, then I definitely would've made the call. That would be a no brainer.

I would have to agree to disagree, I woulda called TIP either way as they were breaking the law. Even if they had a carp on shore, whatif they shot a pike or muskey?

Reddog You need to read page 59, about spearing, archery. Just because you think its a dumb law you still have to follow it.

That like saying "55mph on the highway is a dumb law". You still must follow it or get wrote-up.

Have called tip's several times, equals several busts.

As for the buddy BOB, The next time he says anything about not catching fish. tell him "If he would help the tip program, the poachers would not be over harvesting our lakes."

98prosport, I love how you pulled out the age card on this one, any person of any age can inflict bodily harm if he or she choses to do so, regaurdless of age!

Sorry, I was just responding to the original post. "High school aged". This to me is a teenager, and they should know how to read the rules, in other words, they should have known better. I have adult children, teenage children and grandchildren, I am aware of how different aged people can hurt others.

I am a bit offended at the age card being pulled in your original post. I am what you would consider a "teenager" and I make sure i have knowledge of the rules before I head out. It is true that there is a difference between ages.

The kid with the bow did seem to want to leave after he was told the season wasnt open so that shows some responsibility.

mrfish, I understand that you would be offended at the age issue, but I should tell you that I am only 18 myself. I wasn't intending to discriminate, just to give a better picture of the situation.
