10/23/2010 12:41:00 AMread the reg's before u fish!!!
not just for the sake of getting a ticket, but dood, come on, theres massive amounts of smolts and other fish, i wish someone would use bait or scent in front of me on the stilly, i'd be on the phone with f&w faster than u can leave with your lisence plate number in hand, and trust me they go to your house take all our gear, your fridge and the vehicle used in transporting the fish
not tryin to be a d&%k but please play by the rules when it comes to retaining endangered species, its a privilege not a right
