They saw your netting threads and want to hire you to rid Florida of invasives?
:ROFL: i wish :D

Kogo;2029907; said:
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.
:ROFL:
hit the nail on the head
:headbang2
for the first time in years of netting i got stopped by fwc!! :WHOA:
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...... :D
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 :D
then he spots it and reaches in and grabs it :eek:
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 :nilly:
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
:D
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

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 :irked:

pix 7 8 9 the ditch i was netting in when i met fwc guy :D
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

I missed the guessing fun, but the pics are pretty cool (as usual). What are we supposed to be seeing in the close up water shots? I just see dark water. Do you get many of those turtles? I want him!
