While I agree that education is a key part to preventing illegal introduction of different species; checking livewells, signs and conservation officers are not going to be able to prevent it. The ramp is not the only access to the lake and most shad introductions are not done via a livewell. The people that do this at places such as Boggs and Patoka know that it is wrong and are not that "dumb" about how they go about it. I've never heard of anyone pulling up to a ramp with a drum full of shad and dumping them into the lake.

What it really takes is someone that knows the people to turn them in with proof. Make an example out of them and that will slow it down. Fixing the lake everytime that it happens helps the fisherman, but does nothing to prevent it from happening again.
