I've never been checked on the beach/surf fishing. Was checked the second day I was on the pier this year. They checked everyone with a fishing rod for licenses and also went through my cooler. Not that I minded. It was good to see them checking for once.
Without my help, you wouldn't know where and when to make arrangements.Quote:

I would think buying a license, whatever type, regular, pier, one day, seven day, or yearly even if you are a non-resident should not even be in question for if you have a chance of being checked.
It is part of the laws that every state has for DNR.
For any money you are spending for travel, accommodations and vacation entertainment, is it worth that extra cost (even $27 for a 7 day non-resident) to fish anywhere-anytime you want without looking over your shoulder?
That would certainly take some of the fun and relaxing fishing time away from me if I did not have one.
I am coming down for 10 days and am just going to buy an annual out of state because I know I will have the fishing itch the first and last night I am there. Try to spend every morning and evening in the surf. It is not worth the hassle if I were to get checked.
Back in the day when shooting a doe was only for a week during the season a man was walking through the woods at a time doe season was not in and he jumped a doe and decided to shoot her. She ran a ways and feel over dead. As he was going to retrieve her a big buck jumps up and starts running. He fires a shot and again the buck runs a bit before falling over. He walks down and starts dragging the buck back to where the doe lay dead. As he gets closer he sees a game warden standing next to the doe and the game warden says, "Looks like you got a nice one." The man calmly says. "Looks like you got a nice one too but aren't they out of season right now?"
