West Alton Sandbar - Marine Patrol Trouble

We were there (anchored pretty far up). There were 5 MP boats (3 at the beginning of the channel) and 2 inside the sand bar. From what I was told, the 3 at the entrance were checking boats for boater certificates. The other 2 were moving everyone 150 feet from shore. A couple of people told me that they got $75 tickets. We were there from 10 - 7pm and they didn't bother us.

It really wasn't that crowded. They didn't seem too concerned with the 25 / 50 foot separation, only the 150 from shore.
