I'm with you.  By sunday the ice had changed drastically from Saturday morning.  I almost got wet at the shore.  I went thru like 8 inches of slush but must have been some black ice on the bottom.  I took my plank with me when i left so I bet there were some that walked the "log" that was floating around.  It was a nice change to see a friendly EPO actually get out and do their job instead of sitting in their nice warm truck.  The gentleman crossed the plank bridge, checked every persons license and bait slip and was on his way.  It was a pleasant experience and something that has NEVER happened to me in MA and I get out almost every weekend.
We fished Great Sacandaga 2 weeks ago and 2 EPO's checked us out. It was free fishing weekend so no licenses needed. They just counted the tip-ups. Very friendly gentlemen. This weekend on Schroon Lake 2 EPO's checked us out and just wanted licenses. Neither checked our bait or receipts.
You almost got the feeling they were told to be nice to the tourists.
