The flat tire thing might be self satisfying for some , but it opens you up to criminal charges , a fist fight , or worse . Don't get me wrong , these guys may deserve it but as they say , "two wrongs don't make a right" . The Bridgeport PD may not be effective in policing the bunker thieves but they surely know how to handle vandalism . All of the sudden the tables are turned , the poachers are in the right , and those who want no more than to stop the continued rape of a resource are in the wrong . Kinda like "Whale Wars" .
Now continuously running through the schools of bunker with a big shiteatin' grin on your face while waving HELLO to them , that would be fun ! I can hear the conversation between myself and my fishing buddies now... "Dude , the fishin' sucks today , wanna go phuk'wit those bunker poachers ?" .
Getting the Coast Guard involved is a great idea if the boats are unregistered .
Another thought is that if these "commercial" guys are using this site for "scouting" , why not just start posting false reports of huge schools of bunker ? Get them running all over without results until it becomes worthless to them to use the site for reconnaissance .
Personally , I'm not gonna do any real traveling looking for bait based on a report posted on an internet forum . Not to catch enough bait for private use at least . The real tips are gonna come by PM , phone call , or face to face conversation IMO . I think most if not all of the seasoned fishermen here know that . Just a thought .
Very well written and good advice to follow in this post.
I doubt these assclowns are watching the CTF forums to determine where their next rape will take place. There is almost never enough information provided to allow for one to deduce a definitive location anyway. The value I get from this site is much more about techniques and fishing with new folks then it is about finding anyone's secret spots. Even when you get to those spots you've got to have the know-how to put fish over the rails.
