Title: Crab poaching?
Post by: Commando on June 22, 2016, 05:11:08 PM: Anyone know a phone number I can call to report people crabbing in a spot they're not supposed to and on a closed day? I've tried calling the hotline and theyre closed and won't receive my call and the local police and sheriff's office is closed up until tomorrow

Either call 911, tell them your reporting a fish and wildlife violation and they'll transfer you to State Patrol dispatch. Or call state patrol dispatch directly, the number is in the regs.

That would have been my guess. I'm not racist, just racially prejudiced. Yeah, stole that from Plat.
