the only thing that is legal by the book is "Gifting."
Just watch John Stossel's "illegal everything" which illistrates that the average American commits often more than 3 felonies a day.
~`~`~`~`in laws are BS!!!
Good point Josh. I would recommend that you get into the habit of invoking your constitutional rights when dealing with law enforcement. Nat Geo's Wild Justice is a good example of why people should STFU instead of hanging themselves.
Abalone laws are so confusing that they, in and of themselves, are an method of limiting take...when honest, law abiding hunters are trying to follow the law and are confused, that is a problem.
Ron, you should write your question to DFG...that is the kind of scenario that must be contemplated

QuoteTwo local fishermen got their comeuppance when they were arrested on April 8th for having on board their fishing boat a total of 2,073 shark fins. Government officials said that the catch represented as many as 529 sharks (which included 11 whole sharks they had on board).
The fishermen had the fins stored in a hidden compartment in the bow of the ship, which means they were aware that their catch was illegal. The limit for sharks in the waters they were apparently fishing in is 33. So, they were off by only a mere 496 sharks.
Hung Anh Tiet and Rick Nguyen, both from Texas, face fines totaling more than $26,000 and potentially 2 months in jail. Seems they're getting off pretty light compared to the sharks.
I went out and saw a ton of mackeral, smelt, Baracuda, Calicos and a couple of WSB and a large halibut. I guess however I was just not in the zone. I missed the Halibut as I saw it while it was swimming away, I missed the Baracuda and I missed what must have been a 10 pound calico. I need to be patient and practice getting my arm fully extended on fish prior to pulling the trigger.
Make sure your shaft is straight and that the gun is not over powered.
A good slip tip for combo hunting (wsb/halibut/reef) is a cheapy JBL tricut re-rigged. Accurate enough for pelagics and strong enough for bottom and reef fishing.
Pick up a used Riffe.
Nice pics. Nice VW pic..
