Bull Red Slaughter! 10/26/10

[slyell]

Start taking pictures of them next time in the act... Sanctuary city? Imagine what would have happened if Bill White became governor..

[sfef84]

Does it make a difference that Houston is a "sanctuary city"?

[Tejasreds]

Maybe call the guys and see what they say about it before you go next time.

Flood them with calls will get their attention . My question is if some of these folks are ilegals how do you get them to court or to even pay fines for that matter ?

Umm, it's called D-E-P-O-R-T-A-T-I-O-N. When I was stationed in Brownsville, we were always chasing the Mexican shark fishermen out of our waters. It was crazy because they would come into US waters, set their gill nets in the middle of the night, mark the position, then come back the next night to harvest hundreds of sharks and fish, then dash back across the border. We ended up catching a few and confiscating their boats and deporting the people back to Mexico, but there were plenty of others filling their spots. Anyways, back to the point, I think TPWD should set something up, and get these guys. Steve is right about 100's of bull red's taken per week illegally by these guys. It's really bad and someone needs to do something about it.

Pm me the detail and i will take it to the game warden that lives down the road.Outstanding catch and release guys.......ya'll's arms still burning!

I'll put the details up here so any others that have good relations with tpwd can pass along the info:

I would put $50 bucks on a bet that no one out there has a fishing license.

Went out today (skunked) and recognized about a dozen guys out there from yesterday and all had 2-3 big bulls each.

Tell the Game Wardens to get down there and look closely, ( don't glass the area from above) they have their bull reds strung together and tied off to the rocks in shallow water to keep them fresh for when they leave at the end of the day.

Location: end of seawall blvd looking to the left ( towards seawolf park)

Also cast netting into large mullet schools +12 in, scaling, fileting and then cooking on their bbq's on the spot.

Spoke to a few "locals" and openly admitted that their group of about 10 "dont have papers" (don't ask how the conversation began) and " creo que noventa nueve porciento no tengan documentos y no tengo miedo por que la policia nunca estan aqui...nunca"

I think it would be safe to assume that 100-200 bulls are taken illegally a week. I'm no angel, but I have respect for fishing and game laws.

Great report fellas. Glad you finally got them!

Ditto on the game theives. It is the same during the flounder run with the illegals.

[dbarham]

I know about 5 different wardens in this area that eat at our resturaunt im gonna tell em!

Oh yeah I forgot to mention the illegal fishing, but those guys were ruthless and just plain irresponsible to say the least. Hell they were even asking us to give them the fish we caught! It was great seeing the disgusting looks on their faces when we released the big boys to fight another day.

Anyways can't wait to get back from vacation to try it out again, and Steve, we gotta bring a better camera next time to document Part 2 of.....BUULLL REDDD SLAAAAUGHTER! STAY TUNED!

[Robalo]

Thats a good question and one that I do not know. What I DO know is that if TPWD has to give CBP a call, expect the crowd levels to be drastically lower.

The number is also on the back of your fishing license.

[sfef84]

"""" Anyone know any TPWD officers? If so, call em up and tell them to enforce the heck out of that area. The messicans are taking 2-3 Bulls per person and the Asians are taking anything they catch, including way undersized Reds. Don't mean to be a nark, but whats right is right. In a span of 2 hours I was there before Charlie, I saw at least 7-8 bull reds caught, filleted (ew) and discarded, and that is on a TUESDAY! Imagine the weekends. If no one knows a TPWD officer, ill call. """.........You can call Operation Game Thief, 1-800-792-4263.......Put the number in your cell phone.

Good Info... Ill put it in.
