MLPA L.A. Times Article
 
Apologies in advance for the depressing read.

Just what we need -- a bunch of enviro nut jobs acting as self-appointed wardens. That's a recipe for serious confrontation.

wow....you can only beat a dog so much before it bites back! I will fish, and they will be greeted by a not so friendly fishing Ninja:the_finger:

Expect harassment. Know when you're in the right, and be ready to prove it.

Some of these enviro posse members may deliberately or mistakenly report you're in an MPA when you're in the clear. Record CF numbers and photograph those who interfere, and report them to the DFG.

Quote:

The Fish and Game Code outlaws “hunter harassment” or interfering with another person who is lawfully hunting, trapping, shooting, fishing or engaging in falconry. The first offense is an infraction; the second offense within a two-year period is a misdemeanor. Interference means any action that physically impedes, hinders, or obstructs the lawful pursuit of any of the above-mentioned activities, including, but not limited to, actions taken for the purpose of frightening away animals from the location where the lawful activity is taking place. FGC 2009.
I was on the receiving end of this kind of misinformed MPA "enforcement" in the Channel Islands a few years ago. The moment our group landed at Scorpion, we were treated with suspicion and even outward hostility.

This is actually pretty hilarious. Yeah that makes sense. Burn through fifty gallons of diesel to run up to point Dume, just to tell some kayaker he's fishing on the wrong side of some arbitrary line. What ever happened to conserving fossil fuels, and lowering carbon emissions.

The fuel dock is going to love these idiots.

I haven't punched someone in the face since I was in the 5th grade. Hope I remember how to do it.

Funny thing about that pic is that they're looking in two different directions.

Yeah, what Jim said x2.
Just goes to show how whacked these people are, for the good of nature, we'll destroy nature.

I mean on top of that check out the boom and net. That boat is a commercial either live fish (trap), squid or lobster. I think I know that boat and it's not their boat.

That means they are chartering it.

They can produce all the propaganda they want, go out there and shoot a few photo ops for the papers to keep the funds rolling in but they are not going to be able to spend the kind of money it would take to get that boat out there on a daily basis. I can see it now: "Send us money so we can enforce the MLPA" the whole thing is just obvious bulsh!t!! designed to pander to their base constituency.
