i'm glad to see them out where ever & whenever i do.
and especially like to see them checking fishing license, and checking kept fish for size & limits.

NO ONE should have a problem with them being there, or anywhere else.

if you are not breaking F&G laws, you need not worry about them being there.
if you are breaking their laws, you deserve to be caught & punished.

Well Said.

I've come in contact with Game wardens on and off the water and none of them have ever had a bad attitude. Treat them with respect, and you'll get respect back. As others have said if you have nothing to hide, and you're playing by the rules, you'll be fine. If you are keeping fish that are undersized then you may want to rethink doing so. Believe me, if you think you are not being watched while on the water, you're wrong, I've known people that have been popped when coming back to shore. Be honest, follow the rules, and you'll be fine.

I'm from a small town in the Sierra Nevadas and they were always polite up there. Normally because there is one warden that has to take care of a whole county and rolling up on a bunch of crazy hicks by yourself can be scary. Especially during hunting season when everyone has a gun. I definitely support those guys. I hate regulations, but I am more about catching fish than catching and eating them. If throwing a few back this year means more fish and bigger fish next year, I am all about it.

You should have peed on his tire. Even if you didn't need to pee.

I did that out in the desert once while we were pheasant hunting. The local F&G warden was a COMPLETE douche nugget. He had his sled parked next to my truck and was actually blocking my truck from leaving. He was nowhere to be found and I needed to pee so I dropped trouser and relieved myself on his state provided front tire. Doubt he ever noticed but it did give me a strange sense of satisfaction in addition to making my bladder gladder.

One bad egg does not represent to whole carton. Don't forget that.

Heres my rant. I've been biting my tongue on this for some time; previous posts have had the same tone. I've had the opportunity to work hand in hand with the DFW on large projects all across California (I work for an OSRO, my most recent stint was chauffeuring 4 DFW employees around an oil spil for 8 days straight, 1 biologist, 1 warden, 2 officers), and I can personally vouch for the generally happy demeanor most of them have. One thing that I feel gets overlooked by most of us (who just simply don't know, not anyone's fault) is that patrolling the beaches is just part of their job. Each of them has a specialty, and to be blunt, their personalities typically reflect their job title.

Having that said, next time anyone has the opportunity to talk with the DFW, ask them what their title is. Is he/she wearing a gun? If so, youre probably looking at a warden. You can figure out a lot about how the person is as a human being, thus giving you an indicator about how to talk to him/her. Be kind. They are enjoying the same sunshine you are. This "piss on their tire" attitude will make it worse for all kayak fishermen.

Edit- After I re-read this, it sounded a little harsh. You should know this isn't a dig at you, just the statement. See you OTW.

Anyone who has any problem with a DFW truck being there has no business being on the water.

If you're not doing anything wrong, you shouldn't have any concern with them being there...

and if you think as high powered lens is intrusive, imagine running into this

Now every Warden in So Cal is going to be on the lookout for a VW Golf with an olive Outback on the roof!

Up on the bluff above the cove would be a better place to pop poachers in the reserve. I can't remember ever seeing the DFW at the launch. Mike.

She stopped me and asked me a bunch of questions, how deep I was, what fish I caught, how big were they, what I kept. She even had me point on a map where I fished.

Beef, you've only made a handful of trips out there and seems to come back with a more interesting story each time.

Was this an actual DFG Warden? Or enforcement?

This sounds like the DFG person that is almost always at the ramp and parking lot in Dana Point, has a measuring device, plastic map, etc.. asking those exact same questions to everyone coming back in. I think it's data collection, not necessarily "enforcement". Someone told me that they chatted with this person, and was told as much.. that even if someone brought in an illegal sized fish, they couldn't do anything about it, except maybe copy down a CF number if possible, and report it back to the office.

Anyways, I've never had an unpleasant experience with DFG. I only wish there were more of them, and they would be there all those times I see the illegal bucketeers poaching everywhere.

Just too clarify... I had no problems with the DFG being at the launch. My title of the post was supposed to be "know the boundaries. "(Stupid phone).

I was posting to remind people to know where it is legal to fish, because if not you could pay a heavy price.

Personally, I am glad the DFG is out doing their job.

Do what's right. Pay your dues. Pay your fees.
If you decide to "test" the system, already knowing the rules, well then...
They decide to do a job, knowing full well that some people don't like them.
For that, I will gladly shake their hand. That takes schnuts.
Upon my last landing, I was approached by a GW. He was professional, polite, and super stoked on my catch. He asked how many I caught. I said one. He looked at my fish, and said, "That's a nice fish." Then he asked if I had a license to go along with the fish. I said of course.
Play hard, but play smart...so you can play tomorrow.
To raise your finger, or your leg to the man, the game, the system...is an action that speaks for all of us. Remember that.
It was said before, if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about.
See y'all on the water.
