Chin Walleye Poachers

Dale S · #1 07-04-2015, 07:43 PM

Reported these 2 guys today. Do you think these pictures are enough to bust them for under sized walleye. And the old guy was fishing with 2 rods. (No pics of that)

Don K · #2 07-04-2015, 07:54 PM

One would hope so... We had great pics, video and shell casings of some clowns that should have had them dead to rights. Amounted to a whole lot of SFA... Hopefully your case will be diferent.

It would be nice if these clowns do get charged but as usual I am not holding my breath.It is happening more and more at all lakes as well as the river.Good for you for getting pics and lets hope for the best. They will probably be there tomorrow doing the same thing.

They looks like the some of the fine Mexican citizens that play dumb when approached about their poaching practises . Taber has a bunch of them it's sad to see .

FlyTheory · #5 07-04-2015, 09:55 PM

Good job! Hopefully they can charge those ****s

Pretty sad to see that's for sure, good for you for getting pictures and reporting them Dago. They certainly look like undersized Walleye, but being able to prove it from pictures is a whole nother story. Hopefully something can be done. Too bad you didn't get a picture of him fishing with two rods, I would think that would likely be a closed case!

Kurt505 · #7 07-04-2015, 10:03 PM

I'd be willing to bet a little search of their freezers would lead to some extra charges.

Good catch!

Photos are.part of the evidence. If you actually saw them fishing and saw the one person fishing with two lines then your evidence is all that's needed to atleast start an investigation. Good work!!

chriscosta · #9 07-04-2015, 11:46 PM

One of those fish is clearly like 12 inches long ...good job they should have no problems excellent pics...sure is lotsa poaching going on this year it seems

I knew something was up when my dog went over to there van sniffing around the front of the van. The young guy yelled at him to get away. With the reputation these white folks have around here I got my spotting scope out to see what my dog was after. I could see fish laying under the van. Its was 30 degrees out. Then the old guy caught a fish. Once landed the old guy headed towards the van with the walleye. I could tell this was another small fish. So I did what some people on here don't like, I yelled at him that there was no way that fish was 20 ins. After a few words were exchanged, he threw the fish back in the water. They left right after I told them I would be reporting them. Now we will see if I hear from F&W.

These white Mexican Mennonites have no respect for any laws. It's not just a few that give themselves a bad name ,it's most of them. You should have seen this guy play dumb when I confronted him. They know the rules, why else would they hide the small fish under there van in 30 degree heat.

THEREAPER · #12 07-05-2015, 08:43 AM

Good work, i doubt anything will happen though. We need more CO's out there. They were out on Newell yesterday along with the RCMP. I was also on chin a few weeks ago for the tourney, there are many roads along the lake so i can see how easy it is to poach eyes there. Very Sad....

FlyTheory · #13 07-05-2015, 09:27 AM

Next time don't yell at them and get the fish cops to yell

if they catch them in the act, it's game over

Winch101 · #14 07-05-2015, 09:39 AM

After the first one caught just start , filming .
Use to do that at Travers spillway , Chinese fire drill

shurshot71 · #18 07-05-2015, 07:58 PM

I to grew up fishing chin, Sherburn & all the lakes around Taber all my life. Seen a big drop in the quality of fishing since the Mexicans came in also to the hunting around taber . Just look at the antelope numbers how they dropped over the years around grassy . I know we had hard winters and lots of coyotes but when the land owers start tell you that they think they chased the Mexicans off their land and how they seen numbers drops in the deer and antelope do to the Mexicans hunting year round . should ship them all back to their own country to destroy it .

Perchfisher · #19 07-05-2015, 09:04 PM

Good for you Dago for reporting the poachers. We need more sportsmen doing that. Now we can only hope that charges will be laid but I won't be holding my breath on that one.

Chief16 · #20 07-05-2015, 09:52 PM

Great on your for reporting!

To be respectable sportsman we really should not be throwing racial slurs. Pinning poaching on "Mexicans" or starting a "Chinese fire drill" is ridiculous. I am sure there are many people of all different heritages on this forum as well as partaking in outdoor activities that follow regulations and I am also just as sure that people of all different heritages poach as well. Using racial slurs on a public forum makes everyone look bad.

Very sad and dispicable thing to see right there. Obviously not the first time those 2 have done this either by the looks of it. Nice job collecting some photo evidence on this pair. I hope it leads to some stiff consequences, one can only hope at least.

If the point that you were trying to make was that we shouldn't discriminate as every ethnicity poaches, you make a good point.

Describing a Mexican who is poaching as a Mexican poacher is not a racial slur whatsoever, it's a description. "Mexican" is not anymore of a racial slur than "Canadian". Describing every Latino as a "Mexican" is ignorant.

PerchBuster, just curious about when you wrote: "by the looks of it". What was the "it" in the photo that led you to think that those 2 have "obviously" done this before?

Lambo · #25 07-05-2015, 11:54 PM

I agree with the above posts by chief16 and jhutter. A poacher is a poacher. Doesn't matter what ethnicity he or she is. Not sure where the Mexican thing came from. I just see 2 Caucasian guys in the photos. Oh What?? Caucasians can't be poachers, you have to blame it on another race. Some people on this forum are so quick to blame it on Asians. Now it's the Mexicans too? Who ******ing cares what race they are! Wow people! Pull your head out of and get with the times!

Hope these alleged poachers get investigated and punished if found guilty.

Yes I guess I didn't word it correctly, thank you for the correction.

When turning poachers in you have to be very sure of what your doing,i don't like poachers either but the colour of their skin and their race has nothing to do with poaching.
Turning them in is the right thing to do,but be careful they never took your plates and know you did this.Your actions were right ,but your character shows signs of a different nature.
Also if you put my face online and I was not guilty I would have you in court in a heart beat and take a lot more than your camera.

Nothing wrong with turning in a poacher,but I would never let them know who did this and never show any ones face online I didn't know unless you really have something personal to gain,because some people may take it real personal.

I am just being straight up with you because other innocent people start running around with I phones or cameras posting every guy they think is a poacher and posting their face online you may end up getting someone hurt or even worse.Theirs all kinds of nuts out their and a person has to be careful of his actions.

Redfrog · #28 07-06-2015, 01:42 AM

"Also if you put my face online and I was not guilty I would have you in court in a heart beat and take a lot more than your camera. "

No you wouldn't.

Good on you Dago, Maybe if a few more concerned citizens did the right thing it would cut down on the poaching.

Mexicans poach. Orientals poach, Canadians poach. Get over the moral outrage. no one group of people is immune form illegal activity.

Describing someone committing a crime is not a slur, it's a description. The more information , the better the chance for a conviction.
