Just had a chat with my E.A mate and he said he has the power to go on anyone's land , private or not , to check for a fishing licence . It doesn't matter if the land is open or fenced and gated , he can still go on . If you try to remove him he can call for police assistance to let him get access . The only time he cannot gain access is if he has to go through your front door (house) to get to the water . He actually has more power than the police because his warrant allows this whereas the police have to apply to gain access . All his words not mine . Hope this clears things up .
