DFG/DFW Scores! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ful-rac · 12-21-2014, 12:41 PM

So were hoop'n this weekend and heading back in toward the launch. We come across a dude that looks like he is prepping his gear. I ask him wether he is coming or going....he responds "going"... We pull up, and are greeted with flashlights...its the dfg

.

As they are checking our catch and paperwork, i notice that the guy that said he was going fishing is now furiously taking his kayak back up to the dock and loading it up, I found that a little strange....so after the DFG were satisfied that we were legit they turn their attention to the 2 or 3 guys up at the top of the launch that forgot to load up their hoops. A quick inspection of the hoops revealed lobsters hidden in the bottom hoop. One of the officers ran back up to the top of the dock to make sure they didn't take off.

BUUUUSSSST-ED!!!!

Turns out this was a couple of guys that were poach'n lobsters...and some small lobsters at that. Turns out they had 7 shorts....some very,very short. Glad to see those poachers get caught. Since they had a kayak...i hope they aren't BWE guys....

Good job DFG. I can't stand people that do that kind of shit.

YakDout · 12-21-2014, 12:52 PM

Those are gonna be some HEFTY but deserved fines.

Deamon · 12-21-2014, 01:03 PM

Nail em! There is no reason why shorts should ever be taken. If buggers moved around...they can find quality productive spots.

Glad to hear DFG caught the F***ers. Hate poachers they should loose all their gear including their kayak and get a large fine. Personaly I think they should feed them to the sharks.

I threw a bunch back that were 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch under. I now feel I did not only the right thing but the smart thing.

DFG greeted me at the ramp this afternoon. They didn't have much to see from me unfortunately but they did get a bunch of guys with short tails.

Exactly. Legit sportsmen do all the right things, pay through the nose and get phooked because of jagoffs like this.

This guy was hassling me at the launch. Had a uniform on but no badge. He asked me to call him Officer Mr. Tony.

ful-rac · 12-22-2014, 06:17 PM

Officer tony....i like the sound of that...So dont fuck with me!

captnblood34 · 12-22-2014, 07:25 PM

Tight! I hope their hoops are confiscated aswell. I'm assuming that's how it goes.

Bert Vega · 12-22-2014, 07:35 PM

People that poach deserve what ever they got coming. Glad they got caught. Who knows how many times they did this prior.

They can take the hoops, kayaks AND their truck. All are equipment used in the process of poaching. A friend told me about some people caught loading up on stocked catfish at a local park lake. He called in DFG who showed up and watched them undercover. They were taking buckets of cats to their car to sell in a restaurant specializing in live fish. Took their gear, their car and their freedom.

You just brought back some horrible memories

Both my wife and I have been in accidents where the other party had no insurance.
