[QUOTE="Specknreds, post: 179644, member: 801"] My area is just like Capt. Ahab's. Your lucky if you get checked only once per trip. We have been check 4 times in one day. I live in MS and fish LA waters. Sometimes we launch in MS to fish LA. This causes all kind of problems. MS honors LA laws BUTTT!! LA has a lot more liberal laws Speckled Trout is 25 per person with a 12" min. and MS is 15 with a 14" min. As long as you go straight to the ramp you are fine. If you stop for any reason you could get a ticket. More than one has said you had better be able to prove you broke down if you stop. All in all most are very nice and have helped me catch fish (they know where all the good spots are). I can honestly say that I've never knowingly broke the law. Now the Coast Guard is a whole different ball game. Most of them will do a full CG inspection and be on their way, but I've had some bad run ins with a few. If you have kids onboard and want to see them freak out, Whisper to the officer to ask the kids for their license :lol: . As you can see I stay in trouble with my wife and inlaws [-X . Hey, I like to have a little harmless fun every once in a while. [/QUOTE]
