Coast Guard boarding on Tuesday
 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.

Re: Coast Guard boarding on Tuesday
Sounds like a thrill! I wonder if they thought you were trying to flee the scene or evade being boarded in that area

Re: Coast Guard boarding on Tuesday
yeah i'd say that is what they thought. next time just wait to make a run until they start heading away or go to do something else. I'd say you def triggered they're curiosity on that one haha

Hey Al, I was on Ken's boat on Monday (Explorer) and they were out there then too, surprised they didn't stop us. Looked like they were just running drills or something. Guess they were just training for Tuesday, lol. We ended the day with like 60+ shorts and 8 keepers to 5lbs.

Re: Coast Guard boarding on Tuesday
It's a shame they got to waste tax payers money on that. Imagine if there was a distress call out there & they were out there checking fisherman. Lives could be lost over this nonsense I don't feel this is the Coast Guards job at all.
This is something that should be cut from the finance department & save money.
