Violations of Pier Rules and Alabama Fishing Regulations

thanks by far whenever i got a chance to go saltwater fishing i go to the pier only so $6 it is even cheaper than my freshwater license!

Free for 65 and older for AL residents only .

Knowing that Barney Fife is spying on your catch sure takes the pleasure out of your day. I understand there are rules but if you have so much time on your hands maybe you could be out picking up litter or something.

Some of the rules my seem petty but without enforcement things get out of hand.

Not for folks with nothing to hide.
I have no problem with 'big Brother' watching, even when I'm picking up other peoples' trash. lol
But I'm glad the professionals are out there to take out 'the garbage' ;-)

Is this is joke?
If it is, it damn sure didn't come across that way.
Spend a week in the boots of an LEO and then tell me if you still think the Barney Fife comparison is really appropriate.

Wrong attitude dude, conservation works.
But unfortunately not everyone is on board with it.
I've seen people/families catch and keep Everything that bit a hook, stuff coolers full of fish to be sold commercially to Asian markets.
I want enforcement, I welcome it.

As for picking up trash, watch a lot of regulars who care about the pier and the environment, they pick up other people's trash as they go along the pier.
I'm willing to bet you've never packed out more trash than you took into an area.

If that's your outlook on pier rules and game laws, I think you'd be far happier somewhere else, like Mexico. The other day, I made it a point to express my appreciation to the ranger who was checking licenses, etc. on the pier. I'd like to see him there full time.

We follow the rules as they written; play the game fairly. Makes success all the sweeter.
