It is good to know that someone is being punished though!

I'll do my math for you.
Fishing since I was 10...
Average of 25 times on water and 10 times ice fishing per year (conservative)
Number of times I have been checked. 0
I'm now 29 so I have fished 665 consecutive times without being stopped. My ratio is 0%
Pleasure craft operator. - I recieved mine at 15. I boat on average 30 days per year. 14 x 30 = 420 consecutive outages without having to produce a boating licence. My ratio on this is also 0%
On that note however I have called RAP 2 times in the last 5 years. Each incident the suspected was visited by an officer.
Conclusion:
Honest law abiding fisherman - 0 enforcement checks
suspected law breakers - 100%
