Re: I have to ge this off my chest
A gut hooked short is crab food or it can be something useful. All of you youngins that are appalled at using belly for bait don't remember when that was the bait of choice. You should be more concerned with killing off all the breeders as a method to restore the stock.

Re: I have to ge this off my chest
Agreed. If you are that bothered by that... grow a set and do something at that time and day on that boat/ one that dock.
Not post here hoping someone should do it for you. Yes illegal sh*t happens. Wring your hands and complain to everyone who will listen on how upset you are yet did little to nothing OR have fish game officer on speed dial and call them on the water- I DO. Even just shooting pictures of these people cutting up shorts will FREAK THEM OUT! Quote:

Re: I have to ge this off my chest
Right... do worry about what's in front of you instead pay attention to others who are not there, blame them and then justify it. Great advice.. LMAO

Re: I have to ge this off my chest
Dear let's go fishing: Best and smartest way to register your complaint is just pick another boat for your next outing.

Re: I have to ge this off my chest
I’ve seen it happen plenty of time, I’ve seen mates turn a blind eye to people throwing short fluke and sea bass in a cooler. I have also seen some captains and mates berate a customer for keeping short or over limit fish. Goes both ways.
I get more disgusted when I see people killing fish they clearly aren’t going to eat. As a kid going out on those summer night bluefish trips were great to only see drunk “fishermen” throw a burlap bag of blues into a garbage can. And now that fishery doesn’t exist anymore. Go figure. WF |

Re: I have to ge this off my chest
The bitch of it is that there're only 2 choices: do something or don't.
Reporting the guy is doing something. Anything less is doing nothing. Actually it get's worse I'm afraid: shaking your head and not reporting is basically the same as endorsing the behavior. I'm not saying that reporting this is easy (I don't envy you), I'm saying that you have to do it. Best of luck. |

Re: I have to ge this off my chest
I dunno... I have hooked plenty of fluke over the years that were bleeding profusely from the gills... They just back in to die on the bottom.. I personally might have done the same thing with a fish like that, which had no chance of survival.. probably not the best idea on a party boat in sight of dozens of others.. A mouth hooked fish, that is viable should certainly not be cut up for bait, but lots of guys do it..
I guess it depends on the situation, but yeah, not a good look in front of lots of other guys..... bob Last edited by bulletbob; 08-05-2019 at 09:57 PM.. |
