That's what I remember, though this one makes me wonder a bit:
" Anyone fishing from a sandbar or other land mass that is accessible by
boat, or by swimming through water deeper than (3) feet."
Wouldn't that include most of the Florida shoreline, if literally
applied? You know, like surfcasting from the beach?
There were almost always "fish police" at my two favorite Florida boat
ramps, busy looking into everyone's coolers as soon as they pulled their
boats out of the water.
Harry,
What are the laws up your way about 'fish police' and they right to
inspect? Can they simply board your boat or check your property cuz they
can?
I've wondered that down here in Florida and altho we do not trailer our
boat, I'm curious. On the water I've been informed I have to allow the
Coast Guard aboard, but where do my rights and my property begin and end?
You can deny an officer to search your vehicle on the road, but what
about on the water?
In another thread someone mentioned "If you've done nothing wrong, you
have nothing to hide" but at what point do you say enough is enough?
