EP Officer with nothing better to do

[179]

You have it easy up there. Here in NC I sometimes get stopped twice in one outing of fishing. I will be stopped on the waterway inspected, then again at the ramp. In all the fishing I have done in RI I was never once stopped.

If I were you I would just pay the $50.00 in a way I think the officer is right you need working nav lights on your boat at all times.

Hey 179; how's NC???

It's a new world up here. I've been ramp checked by EP--four times, water checked by CG three times, and road checked by SKPD once, all within the last two seasons. Prior to that I had not been checked once by anyone.

I must suddenly look like a water criminal or something.
