Be alert and watchful--poachers are out there

They are hard at work and destroying haibata and fish as fast as they can.
I know all the fishers on this board, despite our differences on small things, care about our fisheries.
When you are out there, keep an eye out for this kind of stuff. I know from personal expereince that there is a lot at San Luis and the Forebay. Fish and Game finds trot lines tied to milk jugs in San Luis every year.

We can make a difference--if you see something, call Cal Tip.

1-888-DFG-CALTIP (1-888-334-2258)  [yes I know CALTIP is five letters not four--hey it's what they have on their web site!   http://www.dfg.ca.gov/enforcement/caltip.html ]

man, i see what you mean.

what the hell were those people thinking?

of all things, i am surprised a so called "church" was involved in this.

what a bunch of bull..

Yeah. Even though they got caught & punished, I'll hope that they spend a chunk of their afterlife being munched on by a thousand  PO'd baby leopard sharks. Glad to see those big fines go to the right place.
