So I'm curious... Seeing Rob's and Mike's posts, it seems pretty clear it technically is illegal to wade at any time of the day at Gravelly, and at least a couple other locations we talk about here. Has anyone ever had any other issue there (or any of the other locations) during the day?

He then asked to see my license, which I promptly gave him, and we went back to his car. I'm pretty sure he was looking for any excuse to ticket me, because he then sat in his car for about 10 minutes reading up on ordinances and rules. When he returned, he gave me back my licenses and a $130 fine for "Entering the Potomac". Umm, what? I have a court date in June and plan on fighting this. There are no signs or anything else to indicate that A) wading is illegal in the inlet and B) that the inlet is closed at 12am. Curious to hear y'all's thoughts. I've heard of people being hassled by airport police at Gravelly but this is a tad ridiculous.Thanks,Remick--
