WDFW had a road side check on 101 Monday for invasive species and there was four or five of the local Wardens checking boats and trailers. All of them were very courteous even though they were working on Labor day checking boats for critters LOL. I could only imagine what they had to deal with that day. There was one boat that was registered in WA the gentleman had a WA resident fishing license but a Hawaiian drivers license and a resident in CA. All Miller said to him because they were so busy with the check point was that is a whole another issues and just shook his head in amazement. This guy was shaking in his boots and actually told Miller that he had no idea he was in the wrong and asked for advice from Miller on how he should play by the rules. On another note I spoke with the wardens and they thought about checking fish punches and fish but felt that it would hold up all the vacationers heading home. They said that they were there because WDFW enforced them to check for invasive species road side and would much rather be out on the water checking for fishing violations. BTW I saw WDFW out on the water Sunday around eleven and they were not giving many warnings they said!
