Some of the BNT guys know about this already and all of the nkft, but for the rest of you hard core bass fisherman I need to fill you in on what’s going on with me and are friends at the DFG and The county of San Luis Obispo. Last year in Nov. we held a terny @ Lake Nacimiento, at that time a game warden decided to stop me in the middle of are terny so he could see the permit. Well he had to stop one person that had to stop another person to stop me, but anyhow for some reason I could not find the permit, I don’t know if I miss placed it or just left it at home. I tried to call the house to see if my girlfriend could fax a copy but she was unreachable. So I asked the warden if I needed to stop the terny and he said no….So he went to some of the guys that were fishing in that area and asked them how they were doing and what are they fishing for, they said good and we are fishing for bass, both the fisherman had there limits. At that point the warden stopped the fisherman, and asked to look at the fish. After seeing that that had 5 fish he said they cannot fish anymore. Do to the fact that they have 5 fish and if that caught one more to call, they would have 6 fish in position. I don’t understand we are just a small club trying to stay out of trouble, But you can see big advents on the TV calling 5 fish in Ca, Any way I got a couple of phone call from the warden after the tern, asking if I could fax the permit, I told him that I had misplaced it but I know you guys have a copy of it a the dfg. Yes I’m guilty of not having the permit on hand, I understand that, what happens next I think to my self, I recieved a letter in the mail stating so,
