Bottom line if you come to America be an American and live by our laws...Leave your 3rd world mentality behind. If you do that you are my brother...If you want to break our laws and use your culture as an excuse you are the enemy....I hate all poachers...including the a-holes that shoot geese on the ground at night and they are white like me...i'd much rather see some fishing reports than all this...all we can do is report the poaching when we see it...im going out of whiskey tomorrow and maybe i'll get a few ....ill let you know...last week whiskey was full of bait and i got a few on fishtraps in white...then the current stopped everywhere and it made no sense...should have been movement but it was like a lake everywhere....no current no fish....wish me luck

"Poachers" come in all different 'shapes and forms'..... And, commit poaching by different means.

Northern California was not only poached of fish/game but also of all of its "way of life".

"Opportunists" have raped Northern California since the first Gold Rush. (2nd and REAL Gold Rush being the dot.com BS) Therefore, you can easily paraphrase your remark to say..... If you're going to live in CA, do so because you like what CA has (had) to offer. Don't make it NY City, Paris, et al.

Unfortunatley, we're way past the point of no return as now we have a special interest group for every walk of life in CA, specifically those most interested in ensuring their wealth and prosperity at the expense of our natural resources.

And, Unfortunately, there are way many more people in CA today that would rather sit at a corner coffee shop text messaging others all day long vs. caring about what was originally here in Northern CA, with regards to natural resources, in the first place.

Actual Poachers certainly don't help in an already deminished fishery and that why it hurts more today than ever, but our energies need to be focused on the Big Picture and that of all the Special Interests Groups and their paid for politicians that keep their thumbs pressed down and render useless our DFG to include DFG Law Enforcement to meet their "special interests" agendas.

Corruption and lack of accountability by our elected officials for decades has damaged our fisheries far more than poaching, I'm afraid.

Bottom line, democracy works when there is accountability, and capitalism works when there is integrity. How much of both have we had recently?

the fishermen on this site have one way to fight. we are out there where its happening and all we can do is report illegal activity. i know all about all the enemies..our politicians....special interest groups but i like what rich and others are doing.. busting these poachers right out where its happening..i disagree ..i think we need to focus on what we can do.. what's right out on the water or at the ramps

by the way i went out tuesday and lots of bait and birds in whiskey but only 10-12 in stripers on the bait..my buddy and i fished from whiskey on up to mildred and lil maudeville. no fish at all..decided to start ripping pointers and caught some super nice largemouths with a long pause between 4-6 rips...f the poachers....f the politicians...f the proposed canal....f giving all our precious water to socal....the stripers were around on tuesday ...marked plenty of nice fish throughout...full moon might have made them inactive during the day...happy new year and good luck in whatever you do
