I've worked with those enforement folks quite a bit in the past..They have always been spread thin. The probelm is that the state does not want to allocate money for enforcement, they'd rather spend it on mismanaging the resource. In 1994 I was offered a job as an officer with them and I turned it down for financial reasons. I am so glad I did because they ended up laying off everyone in that hiring phase. Of course you could hire twice as many and never adequately cover the need. They should train and encourage local law enforcement to pick up the slack.. But..the problem there is everyone is spread too thin....So..to answer your question..maybe the answer is to shut it down, as much I hate to see that happen. We should have our fishing organizations lobby for more enforcement money. One other thing. to show you how cheap the state is...the enofrcement oficer s could only put so much milage on their vehicles per week..then they had to park them or get in a boat..lol,...what a joke!
