I get checked ALL the time. Got checked twice one day by the same boat. Only ticket I ever got from wardens was in the gulf. Had 1 snapper over limit. Honest mistake we were catching lots of snapper one got to the bottom of the chest and was missed. $260 ticket. Now on that note. IMO all times checked by the wardens for me are bad. I can't stand being stopped when I'm not breaking the law. They assume you to be a criminal until you prove otherwise. No reasonable doubt to pull you over. Just my opinion. Now if I was doing something wrong or unsafe then I expect to get pulled over and cited. But fishing is not a crime. Sorry guys I just have a sour taste after all the times I've had to deal with them. Nothing personal to the wardens themselves.

Biggest beef is the amount of times I have been stopped, twice in one day on two occasions for safety checks... Why cant we just have our boats inspected yearly and be issued a sticker like on your vehicle ???
The Coasties will at least give you a copy of their inspection form which is good for a year (i think)... Still dont fully understand their "right" to stop and board your vessel without cause, perhaps someone could enlighten me... I tried asking at the fish cop booth during a boat show and got allot of song and dance, I know better than to ask on the water  Hydro
