Tell me why you're mad!!!
Message:
Being from the Hartford area, one of the local hip-hop stations is Hot 93.7, which I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with. I'm not much into that type of music myself (more of a classic rock kinda guy), but I catch some tunes here and there while I'm flickin' through stations. I've heard about a bit being done, and finally caught it the other day, where the DJ answers the phone, says "Hot 93.7, tell me why you mad!" and it gives callers a chance to vent a little bit. So, I know a lot of you outdoorsmen out there have something you'd like to vent about. Whether you're a fisherman (or woman) hunter, hiker, etc. This is CTFishTalk.com! Tell me why you're mad!!! I'll start off... I'm mad because being a law abiding, license holding fisherman, i have more of a chance of getting a fine or worse than a non-english speaking, law breaking foreigner fishing with no license. Not racist, but if any of you remember my story about the group of asian people at the shore with no license and keeping short blackfish out of season and were told merely to leave by a DEP officer, you'll agree with me when i tell you this story. A striper has to be 28 inches, or if you fillet it, the fillet has to be that length if not accompanied by the carcass. A buddy of mine filleted his bass on board, the fillet measured 27in, so he figured he wouldn't be hassled. Well DEP checked his catch at the dock and fined him. I swear authority in this country is out to get us!

i know what your talking about its crazy. even though i dont drive yet, cops just fine anybody for what they can. and half the time cops dont follow the laws too, i saw a cop pass me on the highway with no sirens going at least 90 mph. theres just too much to be mad about these days, and school is one of them for me, it sucks!

I just saw this lol. You make some good points. I figure I would throw my 2 cents in on why I am mad.. (Not in any order) 1) Because of this bs Bantam Lake "Residents Only" Boat Launch...need I say more... 2) Taxes. I mean really this is getting out of control. Now I am being taxed more on my paycheck, on top of it in CT we have car taxes (some states don't) and I am forking over $1,000 in car taxes alone when the time comes. Where is this money going, honestly? The roads are crap, when it snows it takes almost a whole day for someone to come down here... 3) The legal limit for Summer Flounder is 17" from shore and is 1. I am more of a freshwater guy not saltwater, but seriously? 4) People that dont launch a boat or kayak and park in the trailer spaces!! This drives me crazy. They are there for a reason!! 5) Ocean fishing license. Correct me if I am wrong on this, but didnt this recently change like 2 or 3 years ago. What is the reasoning behind it? I understand freshwater, but ocean?? Really?
