Donh Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 This is what we don't need. Guys like this result in areas getting closed to fishing. How much bait does a guy need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Looks like 1/4 of the bait that the ENP guides use on a day charter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donh Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Unfortunately some of the big offenders are the guides. Gotta chum. dh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Troy Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 What is the purpose of dumping them on a dock? Turn mine loose at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donh Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Why don’t they shake out their net over the water? That’s on the end of the dock. In my mind it qualifies as a littering fine.The best dock across the cove was closed because of behavior like this. dh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issues with killing a few lbs of extra bait....the ecosystem will absorb it...but, to leave on the dock, the smell, it's slippery, and a health hazzard.

Donh Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I have a problem with it. I see these a....holes every day taking more bait than they can use in month and cram it on a five gallon bucket. Fish for an hour and then dump it out. Not good. dh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Troy Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 It's called waste for the idiots that do it. I have never in now 50 plus years not used everthing that I have killed from the wild on purpose. Still not sure what your pic is showing? Maybe a bunch of net wreckers shook out of a net that are gonna be dead no matter what. My driveway has looked like that before. Wife makes me pick up every one of them and then I make chum to kill more of them out of a mess like that you show on that dock. Yes, pilchards are cannibals. There is no excuse for the pic you posted. It is wanting and willing waste and I believe there is a law against it. I would have raked them up and thrown them in the back of the guys truck if I had the chance. The blow flies and buzzards would likely lead to a easy conviction.

Why would you leave them on the dock? The person who did this should be chased with a big stick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummer Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Remember stuff like this when the bait is hard to find. We should all work to preserve our resources, all the time. Clouds of bait today, wasted, won't be here tomorrow. OK, I am done hugging the seaweed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawg Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Are you sure these weren't from a fish kill? Looks like the kind of thing I saw up in Pensacola in the early '70's when the water quality went to hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatsdoctor Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Massive bait suicide !! they jumped out of the water on to the dock !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawg Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Between hurricanes, record rains, and unprecedented dumping of Lake Okeechobee into the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, half the docks in Florida have been under water in the past three weeks. But I wouldn't blame them if they did commit suicide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
