Default Re: Fishing 🎣 near poachers

I dunno, not sure I would call guys using Goldfish for bait "poachers".. I mean there are already Carp in the lake. I know , I get it "its the law"... Sometimes laws are dumb however.. In Cayuga Lake which has been home to 10's of millions of Gobies for around 20 years, you can't put one on the hook for bait. You can kill them, but when you catch 100 of them on your hook in the mouth during a days fishing, if you toss it back to the same spot you caught it hoping to catch a bigger fish with it, you are breaking state law... So yeah, sometimes the word poacher might be a bit harsh..
