WTB / P.O.S. SOT Kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

"Poaching Preparations"

in need of:
One, 10'+ P.O.S. SOT Kayak
(or)
One, P.O.S. Canoe

Looks like I will need to get the ball rolling, and get some extra gear lined up...
I am a little new to "poaching" & I have a few questions for after the first MPA arrest. (or the second & 3rd,4th for that matter..)
Will the DFG confiscate all remaining gear I own including any angling gear at one's residence, or just the evidence at the scene of the crime?
How longs does it take till they revoke all fishing privileges in the State of California to a said offender?

Thats what I have been thinking. I will probably most likely test the punishment table myself. I will fish where I want until I face jail time or run out of money.

1 888 DFG-CALTIP (888 334-2258), 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

keep this number handy and after poaching. call it and ask them to meet you back at the ramp or launch. They'll help you out with your questions.

you might even get on "Wild Justice"!!!

Rage makes us f'n crazy huh?

The thing is, you KNOW they're gonna make an example of the first few they nab, especially if they have some fish on board...damn, you most definately dont wanna be one of those guys.

They just won't differentiate between the "crimes" that we as anglers agree with (poaching shorts, over limiting, raping in general) and those that we feel are unjust (closures). To them, the law is the law and violators will be prosecuted.

Also, although these are new laws, perhaps ESPECIALLY because they are new laws.. you know they will penalize you as hard (maybe harder?) than they would any other offense that most anglers/divers never dream of doing...ie poaching Abalone ($20K fines!), keeping short lobster ($3K each!), etc. Repeat offenders of the worst kind (ie. selling poached fish) get jailed 1-3 yrs regularly.

I guess what I'm sayin is...go ahead and fish with your current gear cuz it wont matter if they decide to take these new laws and ram em where the sun don't shine

Hopefully it aint a BWE'r that takes that one for the team.

Of course we all know you're just kidding tho, right?

I am not kidding.i am actually Dead serious.

I will however respect the current 2011 CDFG Sport Fish regulations, just not the new MPA's..
I am also dead broke, so they can take their fine(s) and keister them..I will rot in the can and pay it off at the rate of something like $17.12 a day..

So,.... Anyone with a barely floating piece of plastic wanting to sell it, contact me please..
i dont want to risk losing my "A" gear, once the enforcement stage begins..
It has taken me five+ years to outfit my #1 yak.
My "poaching" yak will be completely stripped down..
A bait tube (no live well), one rod (or) one hoop.

thats why i need some extra crappy yaks to put in harms way..
(and I will also be doing it again & again & again..)
maybe some good can come out of it 1 day in a lengthy appeal, truly exposing the corruption that has plagued this entire process..
it's going to take someone off the "take" though to acknowledge this...

I can see the headlines already. Man arrested for fishing with Pocket Fisherman from Boogie Board in Marine Reserve, news at 11. Might try one of the rental yaks with a heavy dose of insurance.
