Boarded by the CG for the fourth time this year. Three this fall for fishing over the 3 mile line. Today I was tog fishing on the tires had a slow pick with one keeper and a bunch of shorts. Seen the big Coast Guard cutter from Cape May cruising the area and pull up to the Mary M. I decided to run East for 5 miles to try some deeper water. Run out about 24 knots and stop to fish a wreck. Turn around and here comes the cutter flying up on me. He hales me and says he wants to board me. So they had to launch the small tender and come over and board. Two guys get on the boat and says they been trying to pull me over and didn't I see them, never turned around to look behind me.
Think they where a little pissed told them that they should have hit the siren but he said I would not have heard it. So anyway everything checked out and they looked in every compartment said I was the first boat they boarded today that had a fish on board. Hey at least I gave them a run for their money. Finished the day with my limit on tog with a flat calm ocean.
