I have been over at the Captree Overlook Pier three or four times over the past month. There's a nice run of Hickory Shad going on. However I have seen a problem regarding fish limits. Boaters live-lining the shad for bass are doing quite well. The problem is they are catching and keeping their 1 bass limit. Then coming back to the pier. Where they exchang the dead bass for a live shad. So they can repeat the process. Obviously they are breaking the 1 keeper per angler law. Any comments?

Phone calls to the proper authorities have been made. Rich Johnson was on the pier with me a couple of weeks ago. However I do not believe any bass for shad exchanges happened when Rich was there.
