It's always been like this Chris. Just because someone has a boat does NOT make them a sportsman. My kids know if I ever find out they have run someone else's line I will bust their behind! I don't care how old they get. But they also get frustrated when someone picks up their lines too so hopefully that will give them a better respect for the other mans effort. I used to enjoy crawfishing but it has become such a PITA because of people running your traps or stealing them that it's not even worth the effort. Not to mention what I might do if I caught someone running my traps. I understand how you feel but think long and hard about doing something you might regret later over a few fish. It's difficult to enjoy another day on the water from a jail cell. That's what keeps me out of trouble. Just get their boat numbers or the liscense plate off their truck. Let the law do their job. If they don't tell the people around town what the've done. One day they will run the wrong mans line. Good luck, have fun be safe and catch lots of fish.
