Nice report! Like how you went out of your way to meet some new people.

Something came to mind when you mentioned going back to get your license. I may be misinformed, but one of the license issuers from a couple of years back said that because of the new computerized system that if you have the license or ID you used to get the license that it can serve as a back up to the actual license.

Is that true? I have my license always pinned into my water pocket so I don't forget it but since I was told that infro, I don't "worry" about it I guess. I could just be ignorant on the "actual" rules.

Maybe try jigging up a couple macs next time. The big halibut will eat em and the lizards will be scared of em.

I tried for a few macs, but the lizards were on the chew, and these weren't bait sized. Some pushed 14". The only mac I did catch was on the grub, and it was so late in the day that I had given up on fishing live. Mac was a pretty good size too so that didn't help.

Wanted to go try the jetty with a stop by the bait barge first, but that wind has been pretty bad. I'm sure Irishman can attest.

Would a photo of the license stored on a smart phone be accepted maybe? I was pulled over by a cop the other day and didn't have a proof of insurance on me, I had my wife text it to me and it was accepted.

I wouldn’t risk it. This is the same agency that ticketed guys for having Salmon heads for hooping in So Cal, with no Salmon Stickers for their fishing license...allegedly.fficeffice" />>>

Of course the one day my son forgot his license we were approached and checked. Everything on their end is computerized but the agents in the field do not have a way to run your drivers license to check. He said there wasn't enough in the budget or something to give all the agents portable computers or whatever. We had to leave the lake.

This reminds me, you should have your drivers license with you as well as your fishing license so they can verify that the fishing license you have actually belongs to you.

Good job on meeting so many new people. I'm so bad at that. Too much of an introvert I suppose. If I fished meat, I'd drop those lizards back down as bait.
