FWC are the pushovers when it comes to fishery enforcement down here in Fl, try dealing with the NOAA people out on the water and see how you like that. They take your catch(ALL of it) to there boat, then count and measure them WITHOUT you present so you can't actually see what they are doing. They don't care what your papers say, they call it in and find out what the regs are if in doubt and go off of that. The NOAA people have said on numerous occasions that ignorance of teh law is no excuse and will be punsihed to the full extent of the law. Also keep in mind that NOAA doesn't answer to local or state courts, when you deal with them you deal with a federal court under basically there own jurisdiction. NOAA has truly become a monster and should be stopped, but with o in the house I don't see that happening.

Ouch!!! That doesn't sound like much fun at all......
Here in GA, DNR works under NOAA's dollars and all they want to know is vessel name , owner and if you caught anything. Last time I was stopped he asked if we had caught any fish and I told him we had only been here 10mins and no we haven't. As he recorded that I asked him if he put that down, he said yes, I noted that you haven't caught any fish. I asked him if he put down how long I had been here and he said no.......Thats when I told him how easily it is to flaw the data. I was just a boat not catching fish, regardless of just showing up.......

Got stopped on my last fishing outing. They filled out a NOAA form 88-151 Enforcement Action Report and gave me a copy. I pinned it on my office wall, looking at it now. All kinds of data on this thing. Measured and counted all the fish. It states how many people on board, target species and an itemized list of what we caught. They checked every single safety item on the boat and all fishing licenses. The best part is the section where it says "Violation" and has two check boxes, one for YES and one for NO and there's a check mark in the latter.

I like the part where he talks of NOAA's DNR........ Then go do it --if you can! But don't be surprised when the oppressors stampede their bewildered subjects against you. Most of those guys don't even know what the rules are........
