We see immigrants of all nationalities throwing cast nets and keeping everything caught, regardless of species, size, or numbers.
The revenue paying public that buys a license are being used to keep these fisheries viable and the ones who won't buy licenses are, in essence, stealing our resources.

Oh I agree, I wasn't saying the citations would be a bad thing. I hate seeing people with casting nets keeping everything they catch. I one time talked to a Mexican guy who was very friendly and spoke good English...until I noticed a rainbow trout on his stringer that was definitely within the 14-20 inch protected slot. I notified him of the rule and he all of a sudden forgot English and said he didn't understand what I was saying...
