Ticket or no ticket, you judge!!

Today while driving to willard bay i noticed a DNR truck watching a Couple in there 20's fishing from the bridge area of the channel which is closed to fishing until the end of april. I also noticed the no fishing signs that were posted just last week saying "no fishing " were missing. The couple didn't no that it was closed to fishing. I know this because I turned my car around and told them that there was no fishing until the last sat of april. they were surprize and said they had fished it last year in may and it was open. Once i told them it was closed they started picking up and reeled in to leave after thanking me. I started to drive down the road as they were packing their car and sure enough the DNR pulled up. I once again turned around to let the officer know that they really didn't know and that once they found out they packed up to leave. He just gave me a look of o'well and motioned me down the road. He pulled out his ticket box as i drove away. I don't know if he gave them a ticket but what do you think is fair? I know we are suppose to read and know the rules but i would have given them a chance since they obviously didn't know. What about you???
