I wonder if people realize how bad it looks when C&R fisherman target fisheries that are closed. I know a lot of meat fisherman and have spent a lot of time trying to talk them into Catch and release. And they always have something to say about the moral high ground when they see this. If it is closed leave them alone. If you are from out of state, have a copy of the fishing laws with you. If you are not sure then do the 3 1/2 hr drive back empty handed.
