ReplyDeleteIf the goal is compliance with the fishing regulations of MD, it would seem that signs in the area of the bridge in english and spanish as well as a few signs along the route to Fishing Creek would work. If too stupid to follow the law, then off to jail.
ReplyDeleteLook at those names, where are these people from? They are definitely too stupid to follow the law cause in their respective countries they didn't have to, now they are here and think they can do the same. Deport them, all of them.
ReplyDeleteNo American names here, and no one who respects our laws.
ReplyDeleteD-E-P-O-R-T?

ReplyDeleteBuild the wall now!!!
ReplyDeletelooks like dnr needs to build a wall around fishing creek.
ReplyDeleteIt keeps happening - political correctness - DNR must be racist
ReplyDelete9:21 You must have never been outside of the US. Most other countries have much stronger laws than the US.
ReplyDeleteHispanics disobeying the law. Why is no one surprised?
ReplyDeleteWhy don't they just put a guard post at the foot of the bridge?
ReplyDeleteIt takes a Lawyer to figure out the regulations that are posted on their sight and none of these people can probably read at all.
