The Marine Patrol has been setting up traps more and more each year. They are using a spy boat in the channel, they sit at the far end of Channel Marine and watch boats coming in and out of the Naswa. They log the bow numbers and check them against the time you docked to the time you leave. If they think you have been there long enough, they radio ahead so that when you leave the channel, another patrol boat stops them. They do it on all the major holiday weekends and motorcycle weekend. So if you are planning on stopping at the Naswa, go to the end of the channel first and see if they are sitting there. If they are and you were planning on having a few, you might want to have one only.
