I've run into a number of people this season who just don't seem to care about the law, fish, land, you name it.
First I ran some guy out of closed waters (I told this story some time ago).
I also came upon a fella standing atop a log jam with a huge treble hook wrapped with lead. I asked him, "You tribal?" He said, "I don't have to be tribal to use this." I said, "Oh, yes you do." Apparently that's all it took as I never did see him drop that hook in the water and he and his buddy left.
Next was the fella (this guy was huge) who drug a silver up on the beach next to me by the dorsal fin. I said to him, "You gonna bonk that fish?" He said, "Yep." and did. I just shook my head and went back to fishing. About 15 minutes later I foul hooked a hen, got her into shallow water and released her. Ten minutes later this big guy hooks a hen and she's foul hooked as well. I'm expecting the "bonk", but instead the guy carefully released her without beaching the fish. He fished a while longer and left. Curious, but I liked it.
I've also yelled at guys throwing rocks to scare fish, saying, "You know that's not OK!" and they stop.
Do you think that just saying something to people who are out of line is a good thing? I personally think it is......and I also believe that some people will do as they please unless someone else tells them that it's not OK.
