i agree with Fuzzy, i think your parents should teach you kids a lesson in civility.

no fishing means no fishing. that guy was totally within his rights to question you. whether he gave you attitude or not is another story. the point is you weren't following the posted rule.

you should do what fuzzy suggested. contact the owner and see why there's no fishing allowed. i have found that if you ask, there is usually some reason that the owner has and you can tell him politely otherwise.

the chewing out you got is not the issue, it's your disrespect. i too did foolish things when i was you but i had to live with the consequences. you sound like those kids that went in and trashed the long beach aquarium. they were just having fun, they didn't hurt anybody, just killed some sharks and other fish..... yeah right. it was wrong. and you are wrong. if you were my kid, you'd grounded and taught a lesson.

you know, if dfg posted it and you got caught, you could have all your gear confiscated, and have to pay a fine. how's that for "we were only fishing".

your attitude is just the same as those who fish without licences, who poach, who catch over their limts.

our society is all screwed up with the attitude that i can do whatever i want as long as i don't get caught. bs, wrong it wrong, and you were wrong.

think of ways to do it proper, like the owner or someone in charge to fish.
