Great post. As a lot of the guys on the board know I have surf fished for a long time and I had never encountered a CO while out in the surf. I certainly didn't intend any disrespect to the officer but I didn't KNOW he was a CO. He was on shore shining a million candle power spotlight on me so I couldn't see him, just his light in my face and him yelling. I still have not figured out what he wanted. he never said. When he came out to where I was he asked me what I was doing which is really quite bizarre considering I had on neoprene waders, Korkers and a 10' rod slinging live eels.
Oh well, I think we have beat this to death. I just hope that I go another 40 years without running into another CO in the dead on night 50 yards out on a reef.
