2 cases of walleye being poached

[itsbob]

Kent,I bet that van called their friends on the boat and told them the DNR was not around and ok for them to drive in and drop fish off to them.When catching is fast and easy guys will double dip.The DNR knows this and watches the ramps.Heard they video tape boats and use drones to keep track of boats coming and going.I might have taken video with phone of those guys.But who knows what they may have done about it.

Yes, The ODNR certainly has their hands full during this time of year. I am sure and hope- they have many many tricks up their sleeves. No reason for this kind of thing to happen, it is too easy to do things the right way, just rotten slobs. The one I saw was not a charter, but no matter. As far as I know the charter capt. can can catch their limit and give it away, but only one limit as for anyone else.

[WI Walleye]

Captains be very careful with this, in WI they started putting wardens on boats to be sure the captains and mates were actually reeling in their own fish to give away. Some got busted for letting customers reel in their limit too. If they see somebody consistently doing it here you can bet there will be a sting operation on their boat.

The other thing they watch for is line count, if you get to the point where people start to get their limits you better pull their lines. If your fishing for just the captains limit at the end you better only have his legal amount of lines in the water.

In Ohio,

I would think you would still be able to fish, you would just have to release or fish for something else.?

people with docks try to get around the dnr by going on each others boats out the same day

Well, its a bunch of crap for sure. If I get my walleyes, I will fish for perch, if I get my perch, I will fish for small mouth. I will only shoot one antlered deer. Its simple, respectful, and honest. People who double dip, will do it with just about anything.
