Fishing License Check

How strict and how often do the authorities check for fishing license? Which is checked more often surf or pier?
We are renting a house surf-side near L. Lagoon Pass and wondering what the odds of being checked are. I will have a license but if I ask the wife to watch my rod while I run to the restroom, luck would have it that she would get checked and ticketed.

I'm not sure what the odds are of being checked are. But the odds that a ticket is way more expensive than a license is very high.��

Pier liscence is 7$ ticket is probably 200$do the math and you will buy a lisence

Or, real in your line in when you go potty!
Problem solved.

Or buy her a license! The fee's support your sport.

I have never been checked while surf fishing.

Thanks, Haywire that answers my question. The purchase of my license supports my sport.

I was checked at Fort Morgan two years. Checked cooler also.

Not that I need it anymore but had mine checked on the pier about 2 months ago.

I've been checked twice on the pier this spring on fewer than ten trips out on the pier. Either they don't like my face or they are checking a lot more.
