OK. The system as it stands does not work. I happen to know that a snagging ticket is one of the hardest game offenses to prove in court. Short of video tape, its a hard case to prove. Therefore, it would be safe to say that prosocuting snaggers is a big waste of money and time. Take me for example, I've been stoped and accused of keeping a snagged fish before when the fish I had was totally legal, caught on eggs, the only problem is that the fish had a rip in its side that could have been caused from a seal or a net or anything for that matter. To the same token, I have sat on the Skok and lined one fish after another while the Game Warden was standing right behind me, watching me fish and he didn't say a word about how I was fishing. My point is, that even if we had more officers on the beat, only the most blatant of snaggers would ever get caught, and a pretty fair ammount of those guys would beat the ticket in court.I dont know for sure that legalized snagging in certain areas would work for sure, but it seems to work just fine in Alaska, and the current system down here definately does not work, so why not explore other options?
