Bad Habit

Price? Location?

I also did mine online through Boat US. The Total cost was $13 to get the new license with the anchor sent to me. You can do it at your leisure and at your own pace.

There are many, many more people on the water that don't have anywhere near 50 years on the water like we do. I've seen enough people do stupid and dangerous things on the water. If this is what it takes to be sure everyone has the basic knowledge of the laws and rules, I don't mind taking a few hours out of my time. I took my first boating course when I was about 11 years old. I took my second 15 years ago with my daughter and again last week. The course is free through Boat US. Then just a few bucks to get a certification card.

Thanks for the replies. My brother also winters in Naples. We've also fished inland waters, Gordons pass and the channel by Keewaydin island to Marco Island. We've kind of been learning as we go. I thought we could learn a lot with a charter and try a little more fishing in the gulf.

I may be heading to Naples Fl in mid-March and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good fishing charter. I'm not sure what's the best species to target that time of year so I'm open to in-shore or off-shore. Any ideas What species should we target?

Brand new, never mounted Seastar Throttle control. It was going to be used on the boat I bought but decided not to. $200. plus shipping if needed. Located in Penfield NY Please message me with any interest.

Nice to get out with the family. This hot, humid, and calm weather will probably bring the biting flies out in masses!!!

The Look on his face says it all!

I Came across this in an old Garmin monochrome GPS I had in the basement. I realize it's almost 30 years old but if someone can use it it's yours. I Just thought I would throw it out there before I tossed it. I'm located in Penfield NY. Just drop me a PM.

if the sanitarium doesn't take it I will.

TTT

The weigh stations are not paid to do this. It's a lot of hassle for not getting paid. That's why I doubt Mayers would want to do it. There's no benefit for them. It needs to be a tackle shop, so it brings in possible patrons. Unfortunately, most of the tackle shops in the Monroe County area have closed.

I have to Agree about the hours. Some counties have 11 hours of open weigh stations and Monroe County is the only place that only has 6 Hours. Fishing after work hours during the week is pretty much out of the question. I don't mind the hours starting later but closing at 4:00 pm compared to 8:00 pm is a huge disadvantage.

...

I'm looking forward to another LOC season. I wish Monroe County had a weigh station that was open later than 4:00. There is only one weigh station in the county, and it closes earlier than any other station. If you hook into a decent fish after 3:00-3:30, chances are good that you won't make the weigh station before closing. The next closest weigh station from I-Bay is a 20-mile ride/drive to Hughs Marina in Williamson. I sure miss the days when there were multiple weigh stations close by.

Sorry to hear Fishy Business is closing. Going to miss it on our camping trips to Keuka State Park.
