    Remember those guys that got caught this past spring with hundreds of our Pool 4 walleye and sauger? Just as a further warning to anyone that might be taking home more fish than the legal limit….. just remember, this could be your boat being sold by the DNR.

    FOR SALE: CONFISCATED FISHING BOAT

    Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources is accepting sealed bids for the sale of the following boat:

    1998, 1775 Lund Pro-V with side console, Dark green over bronze. 115 HP Johnson outboard and Spartan Roller trailer.

    %Boat sale

    990 Hillcrest St, Suite 109

    Baldwin WI 54002

    For more information call David Hausman at 715-684-2914.

    This beautiful boat would be an absolute steal at $10,000 as I was informed by an aquaintence of the poacher that last owned this boat that the motor is brand new… less than 50 hours on the motor. Here’s a pic of that rig to give anyone interested an idea of what they’d be buying.

    And yes, those are bags of fillets on top of the boat!

    EFN Webstaff would like to ask each of you able to spread the word about this boat for sale. We’d like to think that with a little word of mouth we could help the WI DNR get a fair price for this rig and subsequently put a little fear in those that might be conducting themselves in a manner similar to these poachers. If any of you are aware of an other websites that might not object to you mentioning this post on their site, please post a link back to this information. The more people made aware of this sale, and the penalities for poaching on our favorite body of water, the better off we all are.

    Puts things in perspective…doesn’t it?

    If you look at it though a risk/reward point of view, you’d have to be a total [censored], not just a crook, to violate. Do you think the owner of that rig thinks that those bags of filets are worth his rig?

    It seems to have come full circle. He takes to many fish, and he gets his boat taken away. He got what he deserved in my opinion.

    My guess is that those fillets end up in some sort of food panty. One quick look at the picture showing all those bags on that boat and one can reasonable assume that literally hundreds of people could have been fed with that quantity of game.

    Or at least that’s what I HOPE happened to those fillets.
