Yesterday I was doing some bass fishing near Los Gatos creek and saw someone spearfishing in the creek.  He was with his kid who was filming from the shore, definitely illegal, but I didn't want to get involved with someone holding a speargun.  In the future does anyone know if there is a phone number I should call to report such things?  I've ran into a few people doing illegal stuff in the past like using a cast net in local lakes or barbed hooks on barbless waters and let them know it wasn't allowed, but I was slightly worried to anger this guy since I was alone.  Other than that the weather was beautiful and I got a few fish to take the jig I was throwing.

Hopefully he was just sticking carp and didn't know any better.

Yeah it does not look safe at all.  I'd mostly be worried about stepping on broken glass or a piece of rusty metal.

Thanks everyone, I'll keep that number in my cellphone and give them a call next time I see someone doing something against regulations.
