The crawfishing season will open
August Is and with it will arrive
4 problem which has irked COM
mercial fishermen for years.
It's the great number of "poach-
ers" in these waters.
The fisherman spends long hours
and considerable money building
his traps. And along comes a Sun
day fisherman and reaps the bene-
fit of his work.
Probably most folks don't really
consider it stealing when they run
across 4 trap and remove the
crawfish. They don't intent to hurt
anyone. But they don't seem to
stop and consider that the owner
makes his living from his traps,
II it isn't stealing, what is it?
The fact that there are so many
unthoughtful people around has led
many fishermen to make runs Of
80 to 40 miles from Key West to
get out of the range of poachers
It's a hardship on them.
If you want to crawfish, build
yourself some traps.
And remember, all traps are re-
quired to be numbered this year
and if you are caught pulling
a trap that doesn't belong to you
well, tough luck.
