Striped Bass:

[bulletbob]

I once called NY DEC F&G over a bunch of people in a van clubbing carp with baseball bats in a flooded K Mart parking lot adjacent to a creek where the Carp had run up from the lake to spawn.. There were lot of them in the shallow flooded lot, and these idiots were running around clubbing them to death to take and eat.. I called the NYD DEC , and was told-"thats a legal way to take carp", and that they didn't need to come.. I DEMANDED they show up in no uncertain terms, because I knew these guys had no licenses, and I was pissed even though it was "only" flood stranded Carp.. They did eventually show up, and sure enough none of the "clubbers" had licenses.. Those DEC guys did NOT want to be bothered, and only me screaming for them to get their asses to that lot and check for licenses made them come out. I get it, understaffing and all, but that IS their job, they are state law enforcement officers,and we are taxpayers.... bob
