If the Game Wardens would just regularly check the popular fishing spots we would see a huge turn around in the fish population. I fish one place that is small and secluded and get checked by the Wardens almost half the time. But when I go to the Dike or the Jetties I never get checked. If the TPWD would assign a Warden to patrol just the Dike, think of the tons of illegal undersized fish that would save. I have seen people filling up 5 gallon buckets of every fish they catch no matter how small or the species. And I see it every time I go to those places. It seems strange to want to impose a smaller bag limit instead of the enforcing limits we have now.

YEP! every time I walk down the jetty in the summer there's coolers over flowing with illegal fish. WTF?
the fishing was good,it was the catching that was bad.
Wish we could have seen a few legal or illegal fish today. West wind tore our arse up. Fished 3 or 4 of my best producing spots and came up empty. I ain't supposed to get skunked. Hope the front hurries up and gets here and blows through. Had to winch my boat on the trailer from way out. Less water than I've seen in a long, long time. If someone caught fish today, I want to shake their hand.
I totally agree with the limits reducing on trout. especially the larger trout as I've seen a lot of A@#Holes taking large trout and small alike and getting them put away before the game warden has a chance to gig um. But as far as the flounder population.... We have had a very good flounder season and the November bags have brought that back, to even suggest not allowing flounder bags is just ridiculous. The trout should be the concern as anyone who fishes west bay as much as I do knows we have had a diminishing trout population. ITs A CONCERN
I still have more crap to say..... Another thing. Ive called the TPWD on people many times for taking undersized fish and on people for taking to many fish... They never show up. WTF, don't we pay them to protect our bay from this? We don't pay their salaries so they can look good in their green truck riding around.... Get of those nuts and do your JOB.
OK OOPS. she's the exception, If she is anything like my wife, no one will get away with anything. I just see this so much and to be honest with you it really gets my goat. I'm a strong advocate for the conservation of our bay system. How many times have you seen some weekender come down and act a fool. Parks and wildlife doesn't have enough people to regulate everything that's true, but doing nothing doesn't help either. It seems they are always on their way somewhere but, they never really arrive anywhere. they're always in a hurry to do something, but nothing ever gets done.

You have no idea what your talking about. Sound pretty ignorant.
There are only 4-6 in the county. Do you expect them to be there in a split second when they get a call? They deal with some dangerous people, and some crazy situations how are you going to make a comment that they just drive around in their truck to look good? Gimme a break
