Lamb’s comments are true. I live near a area being developed that was prime gopher tortoise and indigo snake habitat. The Villages swallowed it up for development. I was informed by the developer that it was financially sound to pay the fine and continue. They also destroyed an eagles nest. Fat pockets and greed!

You’re part of the problem of you don’t vote out the clowns that favor
Commercial over individual with these regulations. Also helps to make search and seizure by Law enforcement extremely difficult, as the founders intended, no matter how difficult it makes their jobs.

This is kind of a joke. All these developments are destroying picture plants and endangered fish species and nobody says a word. As a young man on the Lamb farm in Cottage Hill, which is now a development, wetlands were destroyed that were loaded with pitcher plants and endangered species of minnows. no one spoke up, they just looked the other way. I would catch bugs and drop them in the pitcher plants to watch the plant consume them. I can show anyone today where they were, sounds like double standards to me. These developers need watched as they develop these properties and held accountable for their violations.

You all act like there’s more than 2 officers out at any given time in the county.

I stopped fishing just for this reason. They’ll search and hunt until they find some violation to charge you with. There was a time when fishing was peaceful and enjoyable. Those days are history.

With the laws they have put in place concerning Hunting and fishing it is a wonder anyone hunts or fishes anymore. I know quite a few people who quit hunting and fishing due to their stupid limits. Back when I was growing up you could catch all the snapper you wanted and TRIGGER FISH were deemed to be Trash Fish that the Ole Timers would throw triggers back because they considered to be trash. Not no more and even got a season and limit on those Trash Fish

One thing I’m noticing with these FWC reports (which I find entertaining at least) is that with the sheer number of rules you have to keep track of for fishing you’re practically bound to get some sort of ticket if you get stopped and inspected, even if you are not trying to break the rules.
