The last two times i got checked out by the DFG, they seemed to be very disappointed that they had nothing on me. Why is that?

Has anyone else experienced this too? Or is it just me?

Back in January while fishing SD Bay, when I landed I was checked by 2 DFG agents next to the boat ramp at Shelter Island. They then checked every kayak and the one paddleboarder but not one PB! Now what's up with that? They did not even go over to the pier and check those people fishing. I'm guessing they were looking for all those seahorses that we were harvesting!

3 weeks ago I was off the point and saw the big aluminium DFG mothership hovering off Scripps pier. They hit every boat on the water. Me first

. I had inadvertantly left my wallet with my license in the truck which is rare for me but they gave me a pass while at the same time saying "never again". They did hit every boat out there though and continued down the coast. They also indicated that this is going to be a regular thing all year long. I will never roll without my license again. Overall they seemed like pretty nice guys just doing their jobs.
I think attitude plays a lot in interaction just like everywhere else.
