He tried to plead his case... but to no avail. The other boat nearby also got ticketed for fishing beyond the sign. I did not know you could get ticketed for casting past the signs also. I just thought as long as the boat wasn't across the signs you were okay. I just wanted to pass on the info.

Well I have to side with the Wardens on this issue. i spoke with a game warden for about 2 hours at the landing last week shooting the bull..... They are getting real tired of everyone not following the law. They wrote about 65 tickets in a one week. Its good money for them and the state but its is going to cost us as fisherman one day. These signs are here for a reason. And If people keep dis obeying the law I would not be surprised if a gate dont come up here! Then you will have to buy a pass to enter the marsh!. I pulled up on a boat the other day when I was going thought Grand...he was tied up to the weir... I ask him if he could read, he said I know im not suppose to be here but its the only place the reds are........WOW....Looked at my wife and said this is prime example why we keep getting my laws on the water
