I work 10x harder than they do and I interact with tremendously more people then they do on a daily basis. I also drive about 250 miles a day and have to go inside peoples homes who refuse to wear masks constantly, so my job is more dangerous in every sense of the word. I'm working 6 days a week and upwards of 60 hours right now. I never got any kind of a break, never got any kind of hazard pay. You're out of your god d**n mind if you think their job is more difficult and dangerous than everyone else's. I stand by what I said, they have the benefit of working for the state where they can get paid to do absolutely nothing because the money will keep coming from the taxpayers no matter what. They should WORK like the rest of us or not get paid. PERIOD.
there should be no excuse for there not to be rentals because of the virus. handing your ID over and filling out paperwork is no more of an exposure risk than walking up to the shack and handing your boater id card.
First of all, they are working lol.. They did the same things they do every year except allow rentals. Thats it.... Im not sure how you equate no rentals to "sitting at home doing nothing and getting paid for it". You are simply viewing what you want (rentals) as their only responsibility and because you cant have it, they are doing nothing. Again, very shortsighted.Secondly, I didnt say it was more difficult or dangerous than anyone else's job. And just because the company you work for clearly doesnt value the health and well being of you and your family doesnt mean every single other company on the planet should follow their lead.In both your posts you reference "hazard pay", "not getting a break", and knowingly being put in situations that could result in you contracting covid. It sounds to me like you are more frustrated with your job than anything, and simply taking that frustration out on anyone who is being afforded the benefits you feel you deserve.
You just listed all the reasons there job was difficult because of rental "slobs" in your last post. Now you say they're doing nothing different this year?
I have found the big Bluegills (and Rock Bass) very annoying as they hit my jitterbugs at night... I always think about tossing them back in and using them for bait...
That's one of the reasons I come back to Mass and fish some of the lakes. I have a blast catching them while the locals ignore them. OTOH one of my favorite ponds in Mass is a shadow of itself due to a certain ethic group removing them by the hundreds.
Cecil did you survey the groups harvesting fish or do you have a racial bias? Either way bringing race into it is worse then the benign posts Ryan made. Wicked poor form and people wonder why the heck there's so much animosity...generalizations like that don't help. Also, there's no limit to panfish in Mass so you are blaming the wrong people regardless of race.Specifically disturbing is the lack of evidence outside of your anecdote...
Taxid does have a point. One day 2 years ago an eastern European guy started ice fishing a tiny pond near me and took an entire sled full of panfish. Next day he's back with 2 of his buddies and combined they probably took a couple hundred more. NOTHING went back in the water with these guys, not even the bass. I asked them how they did and they all looked nervous and kept repeteatedly saying "no trout" even though I had seen them catch several. Now both size and numbers have been completely depleted. Just because there is no limit doesn't mean you should go to an 11 acre pond and take thousands of fish per season. And this is not a race thing, they're whiter than I am. Sucks to have an entire fishery ruined by 3 people.
