Calico poacher

Post by YNW_FISHY »

Went to one of my local little spots. Watched a guy pull up an 8” calico on shrimp, bash it over the head with a rock then filet it. Called fish and game took a few mins to get a live operator. As soon as he saw me on the phone he packed his stuff and took off before fish and game arrived. I’m going to find him fishing, stay out of sight this time, and get him caught. Wish me luck. What is wrong with people

Nice of you to call fish and game, I guess that 8 inch calico could have made one taco

Fish and Game Warden actually arrived?

Damn, what did you tell them over the phone?

I had a guy at my local pond toss out 5 trot lines, and was using a throw cast net, and 2 individuals had called in to the Poacher Hotline and we stayed there for another 2 hours watching and no warden showed up.

Maybe I need the secret word. :D
