Baffin that happened at creek X? smh if so.

Met a lot of you guys at Rowlett fishing with surf rods and 30# test.

We taught you how to fish for sandies and hybrids. Netted a lot of bait for you guys.

...and now you think you are the $hit.

You guys need to realize what castnetters can do to the creeks. Three guys with six buckets. How many sandies can you put in a bucket. 30 years, I have seen what they can destroy. Not to mention the gill nets. I have snagged many in Rowlett. Don't pull them out, Call the Game Warden.

They can shut down a creek. Next time you see a Game Warden, just ask them.

lots of PM's.

I have posted this story before, its one of the worst:

3 years ago, I am going down to Rowlett to fish with TheNightFisher around 9pm . I am walking under Firewheel bridge. I am going to Omaha for hybrids. There are two guys sitting under the bridge. I think "this is peculiar", especially since they have five 5 gallon buckets around them. There is a guy in the water, in his underwear, holding his cast net under the water. I tell them they cant be catching fish that way. The say f-you. Okay, I call Martin (Game Warden). He asks me to get the license plate. Okay, so I tell them I just called the warden, then make hay for their car, Lexus by the way, and take off. As I am watching the car exit the Firewheel field, a boy around 4-5 years old walks up to me. They left the kid!!!! I call Martin back and he calls the police. A few minutes later, the Lexus comes back for the child. Martin meets them at their house.

These are the kinds of people that your dealing with. I have tens of netter stories. Most of them happen at night, while you guys are not at the creeks. The stuff that happens around me during the day, well it don't last too long.

I've seen Carey kick the fish buckets back into the water. He doesn't do it for himself. He does it for you guys. Carey doesn't keep fish and some of you guys give him hell. I don't get it.

Wow what a story They left the kid? Man o man . You are Right Baffin Bay that stuff goes on at night when most everyone else is not there. Glad Martin got em. Thanks for the story . I can't believe they left the kid !!!! --OMG-- LOL

So who's fishing this weekend?

I'm fishing today if I can get an early enough start. Sounds like we've got big storms coming on Sunday, so who knows how much that's going to muddy up the creek for next week.

Sweet....

I think I am done ranting....

Can you still jump the curb and park at the firewheel bridge. ( hell hole area) .
Did I read they had new signs up?

The new signs are at the mouth of the creek near the long bridge to Garland. We've heard reports of warnings and tickets prior to those going up , so I wouldn't risk it there.

It still seems to be safe to jump the curb at Firewheel.

Went to x today, checked a lot of holes but no fish. While I kept walking, dead sandies,crappies floating down. Only found fish in one hole. Caught some but left in disbelief. WTF!

That is disgusting. What can just a few people even do with all those fish?

I was pretty naive when I had my first encounter with cast netters. I hit the Firewheel bridge at 6:00am and it is pitch black. I did not have any type of light with me so I sit in the truck for 30 minutes. Then a group of guys pull up and four of them get out and head down the trail. I thought something was strange because they only had one fishing pole with them. I head down the trail 30 minutes later and I see them walking toward me with around 200 sandbass on a huge stringer. They had it stringer tied to a good size branch and was carrying it on their shoulders. I was clueless to cast netters but knew they had not caught that many fish in 30 minutes. Later I found out about cast netters and knew right away that is what they were doing. Wish I would have called the warden. I am better prepared now and will call the warden at the first hint of cheaters.
