Then they told us the F&G didn't even give them fines since they didn't know the mouth has to be closed. If this is true, that's a shame.

If F&G are too aggressive, people complain, if they give the guy a break, people complain. You should be appreciative they're making their presence known. Maybe the people in question legitimately didn't know what they were doing, who knows. I think in many cases the way you treat the authorities will have a lot to do with the outcome of the situation. I'm not saying breaking the rules should be subjective, but sometimes finding someone who shows some compassion is a very good thing.....in my opinion. Bad enough the guys who were caught spent quite a bit on money on boat rental, food, gas to get there and who knows what else. Maybe they even had a kid on board and the F&G guys decided to give them a break. No a bad gesture and a whole lot better than the guys who let their badge and authority go to their heads. Two sides to every coin! In my opinion, nice gesture by F&G!
