You can call the TWRA office, but rarely do they respond. They have more important thing to do, and not enough manpower to effectively cover their territory.

That's a shame. And no one says anything to them? Time to whip out that cellphone and start taking pics or videos, right in their face
My fishing partner christened my inflatable "SS Netcutter" because if we found any nets submerged/partially submerged, or if they looked like they had been left unattended for a while, out came the filet knife. We'd cut the main ropes, and then cut the net up enough so that we could drag as much of it back to shore as possible. Lost some fishing time doing that and I know we didn't even make a small dent in the numbers out there but it sure felt good.
