If you are forage jigging for bait ( don't keep anything else)

[BOWHUNTER45]

I left a message with the officer in ? but I only know him by his face.

Describe him to BH45; he probably knows all of them by name...........
 

10-4 GOOD BUDDY ...I actually talked to one today in the sports shop ... It went well

You and Bowhunter45 gonna have some of the same stories soon.

Would be nice to see someone like me

Deputies love to talk about their "discretion".  I'd say that Bear hunter is just using his own discretion. 

[huntnphool]

Judging by the fact that he let some people off with a warning I'd say cut him a break.

This might be the weirdest thing I have ever read on this site. SOB was cool what a jerk I am going to get him in trouble.

[bear hunter]

I didn't call his boss. I called him to ask why he is telling people to wrong info. I didn't get anyone in trouble. It's not about me being right and him wrong. I just wanted to let some people that Jig for shiner perch. Using forage jig to be careful of the law. That's all. Hell he never even called me back. I am just going to have to talk to him in person next time I see him. I now may lots of people that jig for the shiners for bait. I told them last year and they sayed it was ok the warden said so. Like I side I asked the warden and he said the samething to me to. I was reading in to it more this up coming season and found that he was misleading people. By accident The other fisherman don't believe me. So that's why I am posting it. I am NOT TRYING TO GET ANYONE IN TROUBLE. If I was I would post his picture. Maybe I should of worded in diffrant on the subject. My Bad. So If you forage fish jig for bait. You can't keep shiner perch. The law is two barbless hooks only.

Everybody makes mistakes...

Yes they do and If it was me or you. We would be paying a ticket. I was following the law,but after asking him. He misted informed me so I was jigging just like everone else. I just happened to be reading into it more last week and found he was misleading fisherman. So I posted it I am not Calling peoples bosses I just call him and asked the main office the rules just in case I was not understanding in. THATS ALL

[bear hunter]

My point? As far as giving those two guys warnings, is the officer really going to send two guys before a judge because they went 2 fish over on bait fish? Probably not, especially in King County where this occured. Salmon, steelhead, bass, crab would be a different story.

  I know the guys that got the warning and Another bubby's friend which is not for washington. Was fishing Alki dock for sand dabs. He got a ticket for $90.00. His fault for not pinched the bard. I would just hate to see people jigging for shiners to get 90 dollars tickets x 6 or 9 depending on how many hooks on the rig. Its ok the have barbed hooks if you are forage jigging only,but if a fish other than forage fish bits. you must release it.  or you could get a Ticket.  Look up Forage fish and Jigging. Shiners are not listed and are even not listed under bottom fish either.
