Attention all fishermen, it has been reported that some of you are not being very sportsman like, and you are wasting fish you catch. Gutting out a fish and throwing it away does not make any sense at all. There are barrels set aside just for the fish guts, so please use them. That means, regular garbage barrels are not to be used to place your fish guts or fish into. Come on fishermen, I know you can do better. Quit being jerks and making it worst for the rest of us. The natural resources are for everyone in the state. Do not ruin the privilege the Village of Mishicot affords you by allowing you to drive on their property and leaving your fish guts lay there on the ground. Now if that is not enough persuasion to use the proper barrels, how about this. Wis. DNR fines for “Unreasonable Waste of a Natural Resource is $200.50 and goes up from there. You can also be charged for Littering which costs $200.50 and that goes up from there. Oh, do not forget about Court Costs. This is your only Warning; Wardens are aware of the problem and they will be checking from now on. If you are caught, do not complain, you have been warned. To all you real fishermen, thank you for following the Rules and Laws. We all appreciate your help in this matter.
