I got checked twice when I was a teenager while hunting. Well, I was checked once, the officers checked my dad who was in camp while I was up on a ridge. I heard the officers drive in and talk to my dad. Amazing how far sound can travel. I don't ever remember getting checked while fishing.
The wife and I were out kayaking one day and we ended up heading to shore around sunset. We obviously had our required safety equipment and had turned on our PFD mounted lights since the sun had set. The officers were waiting at the boat ramp for boats to return. There was a guy in a sailboat with no engine and the wind had died hours before so he was barley making way. He did not have a light producing device on board, I don't think he had intended to be out after sunset but the wind just died on him.
I don't think the officers wrote him up but gave him some safety instruction/education and showed him how a light on a sail REALLY makes the boat noticeable.
