I haven't chimed in on this until now.
There's a vast gulf between occasionally breaking a law unintentionally and the reverse. Who hasn't landed and kept a fish when the hooks were somewhere other than inside the mouth? But this wholesale and wanton disregard for the law is something else entirely.
The DWR ought to have a fleet of trucks and officers descend on that inlet very soon, and inspect every single person and vehicle leaving it. Have tow trucks handy and impound every damn one of them if the occupants are over the limit or show signs of any other violation. Film them keeping snagged fish with telephoto lenses.
I guarondamntee you, the word would spread even faster than the tales of this obscene situation has among the poacher set.
