      I've been stopped seven times in three months by FWC. I had motor trouble on the last day it was checked. I came back to the ramp 2 hours after sunset without running lights. I had engine trouble, stayed near shore, and idled the two miles back to the launch. The FWC officer was waiting for me at the launch. I got my $90 ticket. The judge heard the case, and I only had to pay court costs.

    You can see why they don't want boats tied up in the main navigation channel. And when people tie off, boats get caught in eddy currents and swing around - I'm sure they sometimes get pulled into the main navigation channel. You have to make regulations against that. These officers were EXTREMELY friendly and fair. They saw you on the bridge, and informed you that it's not permitted. They didn't harass you when they came up the first time. This should be used as a training video.
    I understand some of the comments. Many of us have had encounters with game wardens that were combattive and unreasonable. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I also understand the comments about having three officers and a super-expensive boat to patrol for fishing violations. These days, they are also doing drug interdiction and similar tasks. In Texas, we have armored gun boats patrolling our bays. Personally, I don't like it when they mix functions like that. They have a LOT more leeway on the water than they do on land, and some of them go too far with it. Most game patrol functions can be done with a much lighter hand.

    • @jimmyfumbanks6081

      Then Why Don't They Have a Sign that simply reads DO NOT ANCHOR or TIE OFF IN THE CHANNEL? ANSWER they want a Easy Ticket to issue. There aren't any Charter boats coming thru there. THEY WOULDNT DARE BOARD A CHARTER BOAT , THEY STICK TO THE LOCAL GUY JUSY WANTING TO BE LEFT ALONE.

These guys were nice and easily could have given you multiple tickets. Always best to be nice with enforcement just like you were so not to escalate anything. Unfortunately sometimes you get a grumpy or tool bag officer just waiting to give out tickets. Great video. Thank you

    What's the difference if you're up on top of the bridge walking across or fishing off the top of the bridge as compared to being underneath the bridge on the bridge or tied up to the bridge can you change your bicycle up on top of the bridge to the bridge I would check state law on bridges I believe bridges fall under state law

      Some harbor patrol officers are fishing for a crime, just hoping you confess to something. Always be nice and respectful, like you were, but don't volunteer too much information. For instance, saying something like, "I did this same illegal thing everyday all last year." That was a confession to multiple misdemeanors that some cops would have arrested you for, on the spot.... no kidding. However, you can be kind and respectful without offering too much information about your recent-past fishing habits. You did okay. You get a B- for that interaction.@@saltyswiggs
