4/2/08 Fished off St.Johns rd. BLUEGRASS PIT 2cnd Boat dock,the secluded one because of the dreaded game warden hurrassment problem at BLUEGRASS FWA! Me and my brother in Law caught absolutley nothing due to the water being WAY up and massive amounts of rain. We were more really into a first time to get the lines wet and the peace an tranquilty of the lake, when we decided to leave around 2:00pm. When we got back to the boat dock where the truck was, we saw a Game Warden walking up the long rock mining road when he agressivly asked if we caught any Big fish to show off? we respectfully answered Nope didnt catch a thing sir. I have a two man boat with a 46" thrust trolling motor and the trolling motor was lying beside the boat as we emptied the rest of the gear to load the boat in my pickup truck. And the game warden says thats all U got is that little boat and that little motor huh? I said thats really a decent size trolly motor Itll run around this lake no problem. Then he says the famous words You got your fishing license guys? My boat had current 2008 stickers and numbers, I had my boat registration, and had my EXPIRED fishing licence BOUGHT ON 4/1/2007 EXP 3/31/08 by 2 days! (I found out when I arrived home on the net that a new Indiana DNR rule THIS YEAR 2008 no grace period!!!) My buddy did not have a fishing liscense or any ID on him as a passenger! Thats not Illegale is it Im sure everyone has gone to town without there wallet one time or another right? Right! Well he preceded to write me a ticket and ARRESTED my brother in law accusing him having a bench warrant!!! He had no warrant he was mistakened for someone else with a different MIDDLE NAME and not even spelled the same as his! We were not even holding a fishing pole and were loading the equipment in the truck! So its pretty Obvious we were fishing which niether of us denied that! He said he had been watching us for a while (I thought to myself was you watching when we pissed? over the side of the boat???) then asked quickly how long we been there?????????? He Ignored my questions like am I being detained , Am I free to go I said! Ignored me!! He took my brother in law to the county line to a sherriff car where he transported to JAIL and wasn't released until 9PM TONIGHT! WOW now that is bad luck??? or is this what its like when you goto BLUEGRASS FWA!!!

Now I realize that just this past year another tragedy happend in LOON pit in the same area FWA Some one ended up drowning, and the guy with him went all the way home to make a phone call, to get someone out there!!! Ive dealt with MANY MANY game wardens over the years fishing since I was 16 now 38 and NEVER dealt with such a MILITANT Gung Hoe type like this guy was! He was rude cocky and arrogant like you were on his private lake or something! Anyways its the same ol' story 1 guy ruins it for the rest of us responsible ones with numbers and tags and licenses that we pay A fortune for every year just to go fishing! Well now LOOKOUT cause there in the bushes, hiding with there camo on and binnaculars, watching your every move!!! Now this is not my Idea of fishing! Its back to the private lakes for me and my brother in law let him try and come on OUR lakes!
