IMO, breaking the law is breaking the law. Personally I don't care to confront people on the stream, it ruins my day and it isn't my job. I have mentioned to people fishing in an artificials only C&R area that they aren't supposed to be using bait. Most just thank me for letting them know and move to a different area. If they push back I just shrug and say I just wanted them to know the rules. I do have the number of the Fish Commission hotline for all of the areas I fish regularly on my cell phone and I wouldn't hesitate to call if I felt I saw someone knowingly violating the rules.

That said, I think a lot of the rules & regulations put in place by various Fish Commissions are not doing the resource any good. Until they get changed, they should be enforced. But, we should be working to change the rules to benefit the resource.
