It's that way with all law officers or anyone that has a job to do, we will all moan and groan, when they catch us.
Some good answers, You have never heard of the law, You didn't see it posted, Hey didn't see a rule book, I didn't know there was a limit, I didn't have a clue you couldn't night hunt, I don't see anything wrong with hunting over bait.
If the guy is out there tomorrow where would you want him to check you? You get pissed when he pulls up while you are fishing, you get pissed if he asked you at the ramp when you are unloading, you get even more pissed when he asked you when you are taking out. Hell it's not his fault if you spent all that money and didn't catch anything.
So tomorrow when that Center Console pulls up and starts asking you question are you going to be pissed or will you provide the necessary information?
Happy Fishing! If they bit all the time they wouldn't be any left, because some humans have not self control.
