Poachers

Poacher at Cedar last night left behind their fish... disgusting.  What’s the best way to contact local game warden?

Re: Poachers

Game warden is Mark Diluigi.  His cell is 540-295-5620.  Tell him that Curly gave you his number..............

Re: Poachers

Some Cuban guy I know drove by them last night and told them that they could not take fish from the lakes and that the police had been called.

It started to rain, and they all left. Two vehicles, one of them a van.


Time to go fishin' again!

Re: Poachers

I'm torn on this issue

One half of me says they gotta eat
The other half says they're breaking the law

Re: Poachers

That is just a waste.  Coming from MD to Ashburn to fish?  That is asking for trouble.  Do it in their own backyard.  Fishing for food should be allowed within the law.

This ain't their 1st rodeo. This has been going on at Cedar (and other lakes) for many a year. I've had many conversations, in my native tongue, with some of the perps. They get a bit surprised after they say, "no speak English".  But it's a bit of a danger to confront them as Curly knows when he ran into some of MS13's finest.

Re: Poachers

Hand lines and pretend to not speak English.  Mark the DGIF warden is in a new position and no longer patrolling the area.

Re: Poachers

I ran into Mark years ago while hunting. Good guy. Called him when some poachers were roaming the woods popping off a shotgun at anything that moved. He got them.

Yep...when I walk by, I will mention "no keep fish". They say, "no speak English". I then turn on the Cuban charm and their eyes light up in bewilderment. Some times , they just move on.

That's great. We need to find out who his replacement is.
