I'm pretty sure taking away their fishing licenses won't be much of a deterrent for these two losers. They'd probably see it as a way to save money.
Gotta start somewhere then if caught with fishing again with no license then eventually for life, then Prison time. What I have been saying is that the authorities need to take harsher remedies, For cripes sake, we on here all do our part to protect our resource and the authorities everywhere need to do their part. Lately we have GREAT FS members talking about picking up trash left by those people I know in some states that take it very serious, the rest need to get on board. Like I said before, it is all about protecting the resource for our kids, grandkids and ON!!!
