-Got angry with a few boaters who were fishing in the fog right in front of me so I called the Army Corp on them- but they were closed - any idea who you should call?
-Later saw the same boat get busted and heard they say you'll get it in the mail so it sounds like they got more than a warning
-Increased my Fishing / Catching % for the year (no skunk for me today)
-Met a few great guys from the board
-Took the plunge and bought a Sebile - these things are seriously an ABC after school special "try it you like it, everyone is using them...."

Overall a great morning!
They'll get the summons in the mail from the Coasties. My understanding--right from the field officer in charge of the Canal office--is that no one in the Corps of Engineers CCC office has law enforcement authority. They probably took his information and will report it to the USCG--which is a law enforcement agency.

From what I understand, the Rangers' trucks aren't even supposed to have those blue bubblegums on them--blue is reserved for police in Mass.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
