Glad ya found some pullage!!!
As for the CG Insp...I wish there was a way to be inspected beforehand that actually "counted". I've heard where the DNR one doesn't count, but I thought the the aux. one did. We were boarded a few years ago at CBBT...all was well, but it took a half hour of our precious fishing time away. I know they are doing their job, but what really irritates me is when they drive right by a boat that could use some of their attention (14' alum skiff, etc) to stop one that would appear to have all of the safety regulations correct. ie- guys wearing inflatable PFD's. Yep, they should check the fish boxes, but that shouldn't take more than 5 min. and everone could get underway again.
Just my .02 worth......
