The only reason I mentioned that wasI saw it happen last Sept.
Late at nite, only a few of us on the sand, patrol passes me goes to the next guy, stops,started talking to him, next thing I know is the other fellow starts packing up. Guy stops near me and asks if I have any use for his bait, says he was kicked off the beach for "improper display of permit". Must have been a bad nite for the officer,good nite for mecaught 3 shorts on the other guys bait.
