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?
