It should be legal to stab poachers.

Another way to tell the difference is the tail. One has a convex tail and one has a concave tail. I'm old so I don't remember which one has which. Sorry. The bars on the juvie wsb are sometimes hard to see cuz they are really faint. For me, the zipper and the tail are the easiest way to tell the difference.

I'll play.......

So the mystery guy did nothing wrong as it looks to not be a WSB....

He's minding his own business........

Along comes "Mr. Law, I misidentified a fish" and calls the dfg on him.....




He may or may not have a license, you can only speculate.....


Just to restate, a law abiding fisherman has to get hassled by another fisherman.


Great job patrolling our coast line, I think "Heal the Bay" is taking applications.

Hassled? Hardly. I actually made quite pleasant conversation with the gentleman in the mix. And if the DFG had shown up and I was wrong it would have been nothing more than a DUI check point to a sober driver.

Normally, I would agree with your take on this. The reason I think he did the right thing is the guy himself didn't know what he had. So for all he knew, it could have been a juvi WSB.

That fish is definately a shortfin corvina. If he thought it was a corbina then he would have called a wsba a corbina too I would think. And the fact that he packed up and split kinda showed that he wasn't sure about his catch either. Short fin have been a fairly common catch in our local waters for years now and people still have debates about them or don't even know what they are. Know your fish. If you thought the guy was poaching then calling the DFG was the right thing to do. Mike

If he said it was a corvina and then mentioned it was not a WSB, he knows whats up. ie. he's not your normal pier rat who does not have a clue. That would have been reason enough for me to move along. Either way, thank you for paying attention. There are not enough DFG personnel to protect our waters.

Pulled a bunch of these last week at Dana Point in the 12"+ range for comparison.
