Fish and Game Conservation Officers

It is wrong and what the Fish and Game Personnel did was wrong and they shouldnt do it unless statutorily justified by some sort of emergency (which there does not seem to be here) Not to be sarcastic, but I can't conceive of an emergency in the fish and game realm that would justify this behavior outside of maybe a mutual aid call from real police or MP.

I would chock this up to individual ignorance and not the typical forum response of "all cops are arrogant, power crazed jerks that do whatever they want."

Was the boat in your area around 5pm on Friday? I forgot to mention that the two conservation officers buzzed through the NWZ out by Hanson's Cove also. I know this because I was traveling in the same direction as them. I avoided them by going behind an island that I think is called Round Island ( not sure). All they were doing was looking through binoculars. There wasn't any emergency.

That was the location but the incident was a week ago...I'm sure you are intimately familiar with the area GBG, so for others...the NWZ requires headway speed from the big rock that everyone swims on to well into Green's basin as well as all the way into Hanson Cove. The boat I saw blew the NWZ at the rock, the next one at Hanson Cove and presumably the 3rd one entering Green's...It was pretty blatant and it was a big boat, 28 ft or so..
