I was at SC pier today and this guy who was obviously not very experienced was fishing and catching more fish than anyone on the pier. (beginner's luck)
Anyways he cuaght a small sand bass (10 inch) sculpin (6 inch) and a "legal sized" lobster and just threw all of them in his bucket. Lobster are out of season and you can't keep one caught on line anyway. He had numerous people confront him including me about how the fish and lobster were illegal. His reponse was "yeah I should probebly get schooled up on the rules. Thanks." There wasn't much we could do in the moment. Anyways he left with 2 illegal fish and an illegal lobster and didnt get a single fine. Its just so frustrating watching these people get away with this stuff. I remember hearing there was like a Caltip number or something...? Can someone tell me what I can do to actually stop these people next time.
