Poaching

Just seen this at another board.

On the website facebook theres a group on there called Fishin' Alberta and they got pictures of themselfs catching walleye at the narrows last week. Login and if you have an account and see all of their wall posts about fishing when its closed.

yup they just dont care...even threaten a guy...little bastards...theyll get caught..

Wow...posting about poaching on site like facebook where scores of people know your real name is a sure way to get busted. I hope someone that knows them passes it along to F&W.

One of those kids live right in Alberta beach,I have seen him there.My mother inlaw lives at the lake.Right now some of the old dried up creek beds are full of water and the Walleyes and pike can be seen in them,I was surprised as it hasnt been that way for years.All that extra snow this year made a huge diffirence.Those guys seem to have total disregard for the rules and dont seem to realize the penalties could have there folks paying up for a while!!!

they'll realize soon enough

Just visited the site now there is nothing but pictures.
No comments or anything.
Bastards!

lol someone sould just report them u got there names there and even what school they go 2 and they even give u the pictures.

I went on the site, and took screenshots of every post and comment, all the threats and bragging etc., and the photos earlier this afternoon. Saved them all to a file, which will be emailed to a Fish and Wildlife Officer in that area in the next few minutes. They'll get what's coming to them.

How to be on the ball and thinking...good work!!!

Way to go Rifle14!

I sent in the same yesterday around 2:00 in the afternoon.

Good work guys, it will be interesting to see if anything becomes of it.
What was that show called? "Alberta's Dumbest Poachers"?

Way to go Bear!

I am glad soemone was able to getter done!

great job guys...i happen to know the guy that tried to help these kids out by telling them to stay off lakes that are CLOSED
anyways they thank him by threatening his life
i just hope they receive the punishment they deserve

hey you said that you know a guy who talked to these ********s. Is there anyway passing his name onto F&W. He should contact the Barrhead office.

I am talking with a F & W officer via e-mail and any extra help would be appreciated. Here are his contact numbers.

Lets hope they get what they have coming to them. 15 lashes with a with a Temple Forks accross the Arsnic.

For those of us who missed the posts, is there a way to see them?

Hey Vinnie, stop and think. You have to be registered on face book to see the posts. If not then you cant see them. its also possible that the posts have been deleted. Just like I deleted all the flaming that was going on here. If people have nothing constructive to add to a topic I suggest they keep their fingers off the key board.

Since this has been reported, will the person that reports it get any feedback on what happens or does it just quietly get taken care of??? I'd like to see the results of this personally.

I read the postings on facebook too, wasn't pretty but typical for what you see on profile sites today. Some pictures, and someone that looks like one of the fathers.

It's pitiful tho, they claim hook and release on the walleye and pike (even tho the season was closed), but yet, they have fingers up the gills of the fish they caught and squeezing the throats. No way those fish will survive back in the water. Even pictures of the five of diamonds used that are not barbless.

these kids were reported and there face book site was deleted
barrhead fish cop was informed of it last week signed up for face book and got all info names ect they are all facing charges inc two of the kids fathers

thanks for the update grandslamer1

Just to let you guys know that the offenders have been caught and will be charged. Also to let you know that not all the pictures on the web site are from this year. I would like to thank those who have contacted your local F&W office and passed on information. Stay tuned for further updates!!



Thanks,
Game Warden
