[quote smittyts] What can I do about it? If I fish for perch in FL, does that mean I condone the law breaking bucket biologists? No. It means I went fishing for perch.[/quote]
Well, one thing you can definitely do about it is help educate anglers. Every time you go fish Fish Lake or somewhere that has had illegal introductions, bemoan what could have been. Bring up your father-in-law and talk about how you wish you could enjoy what he had and how the illegal introduction of perch has harmed the fishery. Then, and maybe then, you will get through to one of the people out there who actually do illegally introduce fish...
....that's what I try to do! The worst thing you can do is sit back and do nothing!That would kind of be like losing the breaks in your car and deciding that there is no point in steering anymore.
