Hey there fishfinder my friend,
It's stories like this that just make me bow my head in frustration. The volunteer was an idiot, whom... if came to the pier often would know, just decided to make a fuss. The cop may have had to come to talk to you but to write you a ticket puts him in the possible idiot catagory. Even if you had had the regs with you, ten-to-one he would have still wanted to win the encounter. translation= ticket!
As I said before, there are some groups that hate the pier, hate fishing, and anglers. To them, nothing should be put in the ocean to 'distrub' the natural rythum of things. Whatever that might be!
Thank goodness the DFG guy was on your side or at least not writing you a ticket for something really creative! ha ha
I might have not kept as cool a head as you! ....and got a ticket!
