NJ COs are too busy harassing old shore based fishermen instead of catching poachers.
Sounds like they were just doing their job to me. Ive had COs check me almost every wknd for like 4 weeks+ during the ice fishing season last year. One day he approached us and was like "oh its just you guys again" and left us alone. We told him to take note of our license plates to save himself a long walk across the ice!
