Yes, you're obviously missing the Game Warden's number for that area. Find it and program it in your phone. This goes for all of us. I wish all sportsmen and women would do this. Takes just a few minutes and then you'll have his/her phone number when you witness violations. Does no good to talk about it after the fact. And before anyone goes off on a tirade about calling the GW and him not responding in time or at all, they can't be everywhere at once. Finally, it's also good to have their phone number in case you get in a bind in the woods or on the water, because they're more than likely the one's that will be saving you! http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/warden/office_locations/OGT is another way to do it, but having used both I can tell you that the response will be much quicker if you will program the Wardens phone numbers in your area and call them directly.
Coincidence is His way of remaining anonymous.

I will make the statement again. Lake Arlington is officially the worst lake I have ever fished including all lakes in NJ. Piss poor polluted lake with some serious issues. Including lack of fish.

I've never fished arlington and don't plan on it after driving over there to a natural gas location to work and saw a guy who looked like Flava flav wearing cardboard armor and a viking hat riding a bike down the street! and back to the post above call the game warden!

There are plenty of big girls out there. They just haven't learned how to punch a jig through the plastic flotillas. The debris fields are your friend.
