Poachers at 4mr and chain

[Shaun Friedman]

Hey guys, posting to warn you guys about a guy I've caught poaching at 4 mile and chain bridge frequently. He frequently keeps striper undersized and out of season and litters when he fishes. The other day I saw him at 4 mile with about 10 bass and a fee crappie. Sickening. He has posted a few times on dnrs angler log showing off snakeheads he snagged and it really needs to stop. Anyone else seen this guy? Shortish Hispanic guy that always wears a dark jacket and brings a backpack with him? His poaching needs to stop, and I doubt I'm the only one who has seen him.

Shaun or anyone else, if you see this consider calling the poachers hotline or emailing them. Check out this website for more information on reporting these crimes in VA: http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/wildlife-violation/be-a-protector-of-our-wildlife-and-hunting-heritage.pdf

Feel free to continue this conversation but please follow our rules and keep it civil, free of racism and attacks.

Thanks,
Dalton

No racism meant. Just trying to catch these guys so those of us who respect the fishery can enjoy it.

VDGIF told me there isn't any warden to patrol up there. They said to call if anyone takes a Muskie. That's about it.

Have called VDGIF a couple times on poaching....  Even without traffic, their closest office is more than an hour away in Fredericksburg so basically they don't patrol and won't respond to calls.
