I was fishing Lake James in NC yesterday. It suddenly dawned on me that my fishing license might be expired. I stopped fishing and got my licences out. Yep, it expired on February, 22nd. I didnt want to go online and get new one because of the recent fraud. Anyways I strapped my rods down on the deck and headed to the ramp. I had just tied the boat to the dock and look up to see the game warden get out of his truck and start walking toward me. I thought why didnt I put my rods away. Dumb. He starts talking to me and talks to me for 10 minutes. He then asked how many I caught. I said none it's a tough lake and tough day. He then says well hopefully next time out will be better and tells me to have a great day. I said you too and loaded the boat up and left. I believe he saw a guy with a new Ranger and figured I had a license. I could be wrong but just my theory. Check your fishing license's.
