Hit the derby with my son yesterday. Wow, can you say PACKED!! Got there around 7 and had to struggle to find a spot. Found a nice one on the backside of the lake and got to business. Set him up with everything and even let him use my lamiglas (which wasn't easy). We had a blast. Consistent hits all day long. Got him 2 nice bows both between 1 - 1.5 pounds (with a little help from dad). Stayed till about 2. On the way out saw at least a dozen adults just fishin' away with no regard for the signs posted everywhere "JUVENILE FISHING ONLY MAY 15 - JUNE 7". Hopefully the patrols kicked in soon after. Just a lack of respect for all the hard work people put in to the derby and the lake itself. Those fish are meant for the kids. Anyways, had a great day out there.

Yah, I agree. I haven't been back since the derby but I was there with my son last year and saw the same thing. Pretty much did the same thing you did only I called the poaching hotline with my cellphone and gave them some info. They said they'd check it out. Not sure if they did but I did manage to scare a couple of them off. These people have no regard for the rules. I hate seeing this. It makes my blood boil.

After what I have seen in the past, We are just going to stay away till after the 7th. It is the only way I can keep my sanity and not do something stupid.

It is completely ridiculous what the Illegal fishers are doing out there and you know a few of them will fall back on the no speak da english card. I Honestly don't think the state gives a crap either or it would stop right? I have never seen an official there of any kind ever.

Oh and for the guy that was saying how much garbage ends up out there, I couldn't agree more. I have pulled hundreds of yards of line off the shores of the lake just last year alone.

Sorry for the rant, but it's good to see their are others out there that notice this as well.
