Hassled by a DEM CO
So here I am, 1:00 AM this morning, out on the reef in a Narragansett spot, black as a hole, waves crashing around me and I'm slinging eels. Suddenly there isa spotlight on my back and some guy yelling at me. Long story not so long I ignored him and he actually crawled out to where I was. He was mad as a wet hen. Wanted to know what I was doing. I look at this guy and he is a DEM CO complete with badge and gun.
Now I have on waders, Korkers and eel bucket strapped to my wader belt and a 10' Saber blank with a VS250 on it. he asks me, "What are you doing". I asked him back "what the hell do you think I am doing?" Things went down hill from there he was yelling at me that I didn't respect him as a police officer and on and on. He finally storms off the reef and says as he left "don't let me have to come back out here again".
Has anyone else run into RI DEM CO's that are slightly crazy in the middle of the night?

I cant understand what he was doing anyway? if he was checking for fish all he had to do was look and then leave? you have every right to be there anytime you want and should not be harrased for it. Most likely a rookie, wanting some glory picking on an old timer slingin eels...jerks! 
wait sorry did I say old?  |

Poor guy just doin his thing. Probably got asked to scope out the place for party kids, they've been pretty frikkin rampant. Then he sees you out past the at last and thinks maybe you needed help. Give the kid the benefit of the doubt Did he walk out there and get all wet n stuff! Man I wouldda paid to have seen that!  Piemma, draggin some kid across the reef by his ear....  |

As a matter of fact he did get wet. if you know where I fish in Black Point then you know where he had to get to to get to me and that meant crossing some water.... He wasn't wearing waders.

everytime i park over there i see the DEM. kinda makes me feel better knowing they're around, that place was notorious for break-ins. the other night i was down there and there were a bunch of kids lighting off fireworks. maybe that was why they were there.
if only they would patrol jamestown  |
