Reporting suspicious activity pays off!!

#1 Post by John D »

I'd just like to bring this to everyone's attention, I think it is encouraging.

On page 52 of March 2008 edition of Irish Angler there is a nice little article on outlining how an angler reporting a suspicion of drift nets enabled the Fisheries Boards to promptly act and immediately save the lives of a couple of bass, and who knows how many future bass!

So keep it up reporting suspicious activity!

Regards,
John D.

I agree with John D, this should be treated as a duty and responsibility of every angler to do so. At the same time, do it cleverly, to not put yourself in to trouble, as messing with poachers might be dangerous.
