I have had Game Warden's with similar knowledge of boats.
Please file a complaint and do us all a favor.
Example. SOuth End of Big lake . Fishing very shallow, 1.5 ft. of water. Here comes a GW boat wide open at our boat. Before he "surprises" me with his quick approach to write a "fire extinguisher ticket", he runs on some oysters and kicked his motor out of the water. 40+ mph. I am surpised he did fly out. Needless to say, he did some damage to the engine and boat. He asks us a bunch of stupid questions, looks at our fish box, which I think we had two fish. Upon leaving, he continues to grind the $60,000 Triton(Which our taxes paid for) on the oyster bottom.
Moral of the story. We filed a complaint. Their boss we talked to at Wildlife and Fisheries said those two guys were not even supposed to check fishermen that day. They were only supposed to be looking for a boat that had been shrimping out of season. Nothing else.
That was several years ago. Enough said
