that is the contact info for reporting illegal fishing activities (and receiving rewards in some cases).
I'm guessing you got that from a field agent who was checking your bucket for talapia and snakehead...
... if your meeting with FWC lead to any good information on netting rules or legalities please share.

hit the nail on the head

for the first time in years of netting i got stopped by fwc!!

i was netting in a ditch
trunk open,full of buckets
he drove by and seen them all
i was packing up at the time
by the time he turned around i was in the car and he pulled beside me
rolled down window
he says,whats in all the buckets
i said minnows......

he says,can i look? "like he wouldnt if i said no LOL "
at the time i only had 2 buckets of fish
he opens the first to see a bucket of minnows
asks,you have aquariums? i said ya to many tanks and all these are fish food
then he asks can i look in that other bucket
i said ya sure,"like it matters what i say lol"
i said its just a bunch of crawdads
he opens it and says oh ya lots of crawdads
keeps looking,says oh i see tadpoles too
i say ya just keeping the frog population down

then he spots it and reaches in and grabs it

pulls out this baby soft shell turtle
says aw cute soft shell turtle,i said is that what it is?lol
at this point im so nervous cus i dont know the laws on softshells,oops,lol
he goes on about how the big ones are really mean
then puts it back
then asked if i had a license,i said ya
at this point im free and clear and we just begin to chit chat about what fish i net and stuff ive seen in the past
after we gab he leaves
i leave right after him
then he stops in the road
i go to pass and he stops me again
im like

then he hands me a few of these cards i posted above and said just call this number if you see anything suspicious
i said will do and drove off

just thought it was a funny story cus i net so much and this is the first time ive been pulled by fwc,and i been waiting

HPIZZLE;2029912; said:
yes please do
not much
he said take all the invasives i can lol
also said he doesnt really do much if your netting without a license
but im sure just like cops each person does it different
onto the few pix
the first 4 pix are of my crawdad spot
it cant be more then a foot deep but full of crawdads
5th pic is a pleco hole
there was 2 really big plecos in the crawdad hole but i missed them with the net "not really trying lol"
pic 6 in the center of the pic over the sand you can barely see one of the plecos
for some reason all the pleco pix you couldnt see them
pix 7 8 9 the ditch i was netting in when i met fwc guy

you can barely see the minnows but they hide over the concrete in the current to not get ate i guess
i just scoop and put in bucket
the rest of the pix are what i netted
