Boarded by CG
Went out Sat for my last trip of the year. Swells kept me out of the aread I wanted to fish for blackfish, stayed up in the bay. Wind made it a pita to anchor on some good structure. About 9am, with a few other boats around, I see a CG boat with @ 7 guys creeping closer and closer to me. It was a little awkward, I wasnt sure what I was supposed to do so I kept fishing. They got close and asked when the last time I was boarded and I told them never. They dropped off two guys on my boat. They were very cool, and explained everything to me. Took about 20 mins. I passed the inspection with no issues. They told me this was routine stuff and they'd rather be doing search and rescues, I told them I hope I never, ever, see them on a search and rescue. These guys were top notch and its good knowing we have people like that looking out for us.
Day ended with no fish, we never even had a hit. Same crabs for 4 hours!
