Called Tip line on saturday 10APR2010 for people fishing (5 maybe 6). I was told that someone would investigate. I waited there for 2 hours and no show. My brother called Tip line @ 4:45pm today 11APR2010 and asked the Tip officer what the proper protocol was. My brother said he would be down there at 5:30pm and asked what action he should take? IE Dump the bucket? Call the Waterbury Police Dept.? He was told that he shouldn't do anything. Paying for a license, knowing that if the price goes down, it will be AFTER Opening Day steams me. Knowing that an unlicensed person fishing gets a free ride steams not only myself, but my family and friends that are buying the licenses at the inflated prices.
I fish fresh and salt as well as crab.Streams,rivers,ponds,lakes,bays,oceans.I buy a license so I can keep when I am going to eat it and throw back when I am not.
