  1. Same thing happen to me. It is actually quite easy to repair. Saw the videos below but wasn't convinced as i thought my rod tip had stitches on it so i took it to a tackle shop. He did the exact same thing. Just run the lighter quickly over rod tip and then use a long nose plier to gently lift it out. Then he takes a bit of sandpaper and run it over the broken tip area, so super glue can have better grip and also to smooth the tip. Refill the rod tip well with super glue and place it back on the broken tip and hold it steady for a few minutes. Then you're done. Don't disturb the tip for 24hrsAll you need is a lighter, super glue, long nosed plier and a bit of sand paperThis video shows how to repair broken tiphttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdcKISb_A7UIf the rod tip guide is still good and you need to take it outhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIA-tJOLBVgotherwise the tackle shop have new got pack of rod tips for sale. It'll save you a fraction in costs

  2. I would just go over to talk n educate them first. Let them know what species, the minimum size, maximum catch limit for one day and then explain the heavy penalties (big big fines!) if they are caught doing wrong thing. Might need simple sign language if they can't communicate with you. I'm guessing new anglers like overseas students and new migrants would be the main culprits as they do not automatically know the laws. If after educating them and you see them doing it again then report them, cos after that you be a solid witness.
