[quote lipripper15]Im all for people catching fish thats why they are in there. But when you can sit down there and watch certain groups of people take over there limit is what im talking about. Granted im sure it happens out on the boats as well. The thing that is the most frustraing is people you are fishing in a BOAT DOCK dont throw a fit when the docks are full from people trying to load and unload. They act like we are taking away their fishing spot when thats what the docks are made for. Go down there and see how many of these fish are hooked in their stomachs and get released so they can keep catching.[/quote]
So while watching did you do your part and turn them in?
Ill agree with you 100% that boats have the right of way and people need to get out of their way. It is a safety hazard and can get sucked up in peoples props.
My next question is how do you know they are snagged? Have you sat down there and foul hooked a few yourself or just making a statement off of hearsay?
Ive fished by the county dock the last two years on the opener, last year was a bit rough, but the first year I would say around 95% of the fish I hooked or saw hooked were not foul hooked. End of the day if your tactic is not snagging and you happen to snag one is it wrong? I nymph fish and about 1-10 fish I catch doing it is fowl hooked. Its a part of different fishing methods.
