Have you been checked out on Mile Lacs by a CO this year? I usually get checked once or twice but haven’t seen anyone this year.

0 for five on M.L. for me this year.
Haven’t seen one either.
January 20, 2009 at 5:31 pm #739430Got checked Sunday on Red. Nice guy.
January 20, 2009 at 5:38 pm #739433Got checked two weekends ago out of Hunters.
January 20, 2009 at 7:21 pm #739496I assumed they were out there, just haven’t seen them
January 20, 2009 at 8:45 pm #739524Once on the water by a actual CO. and a few times by the folks doing the creel surveys at the landings. I’ve yet to get checked on the ice this year, or any year.

January 21, 2009 at 1:48 am #739605I’ve been checked on the ice twice in about 25 years that I can remember. Crazy part about getting checked last year was that it was during an absolute blizzard. My buddies and I were shocked there was anybody else out fishing on the whole lake. And here shows up a couple COs in their truck. We were dumbfounded as we NEVER see them on the ice and this was the time we did. Weird.
January 21, 2009 at 2:02 am #739611I have not been checked on the ice on Mille Lacs in the last 3 years. During the open water season I come in contact with a creel survey guy about 2-3 times a year when coming back from fishing for the day.
However, I have been checked twice in the last week in stearns county. They seem to be active in stearns, which is good.
January 21, 2009 at 1:26 pm #739722Twice so far for me out of 18-20 trips.None on the lake,once on a road south of the casino and once at the Wealthwood access.
January 21, 2009 at 2:20 pm #739740I got checked yesterday out of The Red Door. CO Luke Croat. Nice guy. Pretty friendly. He’s checked me in past years also. Told him I always look for his reports in The Outdoor News Magazine cuffs and collars. I havent seen my name in there yet.
January 21, 2009 at 10:04 pm #739983If I remember (seemly tougher the older I get) it was around three years ago for me. CO on a sled. Everything was fine. I wonder why there aren’t more checks as I heard a stat that there are more than 2 million hours of fishing recorded during an ice season.
January 30, 2009 at 5:50 am #742869seen them out there but have not been checked in 5 trips.
January 30, 2009 at 5:17 pm #742969Last time I was checked on the ice was 3 years ago. CO knocked, came in, looked around, and started to write me up for using 4 lines. Had to explain my wife was in the closet using the toilet and she wasn’t coming out till he left. He chuckled, left, and I got my
chewed on for letting him in while she was in there. January 30, 2009 at 5:53 pm #742980Funny…..in all my time fishing hard and soft water, I’ve never been checked by a CO on Mille Lacs. I’ve seen them on occasion.

Jack, are you SURE you weren’t using 4 lines by yourself while your wife was using the bathroom?

using 4 lines.
A bit hypocritical to state using multiple lines is hard on a fishery, isn’t it???
Just ribbing you Jack.
