As for as for immigrants on the water fishing. All of you are 100 %. correct. I am sorry I can count people who follow regs on one hand and as far as the rest goes. Forget it. Undersize -- take it, not in season -- take it, over limit -- take it. Not only do they know that they are wrong, they are also under some strange impression that they are only ones that do it and everyone else follows the regulations.
In all reality I do not see a point of changing regulations if state does not have anyone to enforce them.

I know what you mean by that impression they're under, without my experiencing them out there. Maybe here in the Highlands things are different. And you're right. If the state doesn't enforce the law, then they're going to disregard it, whatever the changes. It seems as if they feel entitled to take all they please regardless of laws they might feel apply to those who follow those laws, not they who have their own private concensus.
