[cool][#0000ff]Of course it is always better to report the violators than to try to take matters into ones own hands. I was jesting about being physical. Well, maybe a little.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]These days one cannot be too careful about confrontations. You never know who is carrying a firearm and who is inclined to use it with little provocation.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]If you have a cell phone, use it. Otherwise, take license numbers and take pictures if you have a camera. Let the proper authorities handle the matter.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]At the very least I would have discretely asked the other angler if he was aware of the regulations...and explained them if he was not. There are anglers who go fishing without being aware of the laws on the waters they fish. He may have appreciated your attempt to save him a ticket. If not, then you know where he stands. If told to MYOB...or worse...you can go to plan B.[/#0000ff]
