what lake/reservoir are we talking about?...waywayanda,aeroflex,tilcon or merrill creek res?

[Broad Bill]

Tilcon, same place that's had a rash of catalytic converters cut off cars (on both Waterloo and Kinney Roads) while people were fishing and scumbags cast netting fish from the banks after stocking. If you're fishing from shore, which I do, that place went from a gold mine to the equivalent of fishing in an urban s*** hole. It's off the beaten path, not patrolled and if you happen to run into the wrong people and confront them about illegal activities as I did you're exposing yourself to a risk you're going to regret. As I said, this s*** is completely out of control and if you try protecting yourself you'll be the next Daniel Penny. This country needs to get their s*** together and reinstate the values we used to have, just ask the victim's families of the tragedy in New Orleans. We've lost our way and the animals are running the zoo. And I don't really give a s*** if anybody takes exception to my perspective, just go fishing, have somebody pull a blade on you and tell me there's not radical changes needed in this Country.

I once called NY DEC F&G over a bunch of people in a van clubbing carp with baseball bats in a flooded K Mart parking lot adjacent to a creek where the Carp had run up from the lake to spawn.. There were lot of them in the shallow flooded lot, and these idiots were running around clubbing them to death to take and eat.. I called the NYD DEC , and was told-"thats a legal way to take carp", and that they didn't need to come.. I DEMANDED they show up in no uncertain terms, because I knew these guys had no licenses, and I was pissed even though it was "only" flood stranded Carp.. They did eventually show up, and sure enough none of the "clubbers" had licenses.. Those DEC guys did NOT want to be bothered, and only me screaming for them to get their asses to that lot and check for licenses made them come out. I get it, understaffing and all, but that IS their job, they are state law enforcement officers,and we are taxpayers.... bob

Thats really sad, but its everywhere these days, and its the reason that I started to carry everywhere I go.. something I NEVER thought I would need to do. NJ is worse than upstate NY, but evil and moral degradation is everywhere today... Read the Book of Revelation sometime, and you'll know where we are in history... I have very little hope things will get better anytime soon... What we are seeing in our tiny little "sportsman/outdoorsman" bubble is just a byline for society at large. The world has become a very sick and dangerous place, and evil is rampant.... bob

I was unaware that you needed a fishing license to club carp in a WalMart parking lot. I thought you only needed a license if you were "angling" ie: rod and reel, trot line, hand line or bow and arrow.

KMart actually, over 25 years ago.. They were spawning in a slow muddy stream, and the flood water carried them into the lot.. a LOT of them... I don't believe any type of killing fresh of water fish is legal without a license.. I do know the "club crew" got tickets when the F&G finally showed up.. They could have easily been trout.. Lots of those came into the streets/parking lots during that flood as well..
