timistall Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 A buddy of mine made the mistake of getting on the locks at East Lake to pickup a lost lure. As luck would have it the FWC saw him and wrote a ticket. He has to go to court. Anyone been thru this kinda thing? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 27, 2012 Super User Posted January 27, 2012 Is it an appearnace ticket? If so, just ask to speak to the DA, and explain the circumstances. Otherwise, get a lawyer. Quote
Shane Procell Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Two of my buds were caught fishing a STA water retention area out of the Hollylands. FWC had them on video. Court appearance in Palm Beach County where the judge gave them each a $500 fine and 50 hours of community service. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted January 28, 2012 Super User Posted January 28, 2012 If your friend has a clean record then he'll probally get a small fine and maybe community service. He can more than likely do the first time offenders program which is a small fee and a class. Trespassing is only a misd, except for a few exceptions which are felonies. Have him cooperate with the state attorney or district attorney (same thing). I, personally, wouldn't hire an attorney and waste my money unless I was already on probation or had an extensive criminal history. Quote

Super User Bassn Blvd Posted January 29, 2012 Super User Posted January 29, 2012 Good luck and stay safe! Thanks. I could go at the end of this year, but plan on hanging out 4 more. Unless the boss ticks me off, hahaha. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted January 29, 2012 Super User Posted January 29, 2012 Fishing guide? I figured you and I would start a fishing club for retirees. Think about it, a multi species fishing club/tournament. Freshwater could be bass AND P's. Saltwater could be whatever we agree on. 1 Quote
