The various flavors of local marine police routinely ask for ID. Don't

Where was that?


NY, Long Island Sound in my hot rod inflatable days... :-)


LIS is getting ridiculous in and around the Race area. Last year, I
was stopped twice by DEM (RI), DEP (CT) and DEC (NY) checking on
striper length and fish totals. I've heard that this year was the
same - on some days you could be stopped twice by the same fisheries
enforcement types.

Freakin' ridiculous.
