    It is going on for a number of years now, and I am sorry to say that from personal experience, that ringing the cops gets nothing done on the matter

    Well from my experience,80% of the time they do show up when you give a ring or a bailiff...to be honest its just way too annoying and wrong for me to not ring them.Manys a long line i pulled in and made s**t of it...

    That might be due to the choice of title for the thread ... the likely "illegal alien" connotation was probably sufficient to cause some eyes to not click to read more ....

    No doubt about that. It's always been the refusal to tolerate poaching by the everyday anglers that eventually grinds poachers down. They know they can dodge waterkeepers who are thin on the ground, for a while.
    But when every single other angler on a water is almost certainly making a telephone call when he sees stuff going on, bringing the waterkeepers to them, they find it better to go elsewhere/rob something else.

    I urge every angler to put the tel numbers of the local fishery board into their mobile, and give these poachers no breaks when spotted.
