A little dead out there, huh? I like the misty pictures though...
Ya know, a couple months back, Alex and I were fishing the Boulder Harbor cove from the kayaks, and some NDOW lady started screaming at us from the fishing pier that we weren't allowed to fish inside the harbor cove. We didn't know she was NDOW, and kept fishing, and she ended up getting in a boat and coming up to us and telling us we couldn't be in there. She said we could fish anywhere from the shore, but that we could not be in our boats.
Before that incident, we had fished inside the cove NUMEROUS times, with NDOW boats cruising right by us, and saying nothing. And since, I have seen NUMEROUS boats fishing inside the harbor with no repercussions. That leads me to ask... (1)Why did we get the shaft, and (2) Does anybody know if there has been a specific law enabling or disabling fishing inside the harbor since the marina was removed?
What really pissed me off, is that she went to the extent to get a boat to come tell us to get the hell out, but she never even asked for my fishing license! Too many people get away without a license. I think it should be enforced a bit more.
Anyway, my rant is over....Now to post my late report from Monday...
