I got my Sportsmans Lic. and also a bunch of antlerless tags. And I didn't use even one tag ! We just didn't have the deer in my area of Niagara County this year. The deer I did see, were mostly does and yearlings. Hopefully I will see more deer this spring as the weather starts to break and they will continue to live in the area. If so, I may harvest one in the fall. (maybe)

Now if they will allow us to use crossbows, there will be a large number of archery hunters that will return to the woods.

No New Boating Permits required. CONGRESS RESTORES 35-YEAR EXEMPTION FOR RECREATIONAL BOATS FROM PROPOSED EPA PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS NO NEW PERMIT FOR BOATS REQUIRED ALEXANDRIA, VA, July 22, 2008 - In a remarkable display of bipartisan support for recreational boating, both the House and Senate today passed S. 2766, "The Clean Boating Act of 2008" which will permanently restore a long-standing exemption for recreational boats from permitting requirements under the Clean Water Act. The legislation now goes to the White House for the President's signature. Congressional action was spawned by a U.S. District Court decision in September 2006 under which an estimated 17 million recreational boats would have fallen under Clean Water Act permit requirements effective September 30, 2008. The permit would have dictated maintenance and operation procedures and potentially subjected boaters to citizen lawsuits as well as a penalty system designed for industrial polluters. "This is a fabulous victory for common sense and it just goes to show what can be done when the boating public, the marine industry and its representatives in Congress row together in a bipartisan way," said BoatU.S. President Nancy Michelman. BoatU.S. Government Affairs Director Margaret Podlich was quick to shower praise on a boatload of legislators who did much of the heavy lifting including Sens. Bill Nelson (D-FL) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Representatives Jim Oberstar (D-MN), Steve LaTourette (R-OH), Candice Miller (R-MI) and Gene Taylor (D-MS). A complete listing of all legislators involved will be available at http://www.BoatUS.com/gov soon. BoatU.S. has worked for more than a year with the National Marine Manufacturers Association and a broad coalition of stakeholders to resolve the problem before the permitting deadline. "One of the real keys to success here was our collective ability to activate the grassroots," said Podlich, noting that tens of thousands of letters and e-mails were generated by boaters and anglers over the course of the past 12 months. BoatU.S. is the nation's leading advocate for recreational boat owners with over 650,000 members.

Next time you go out off the Fort for bass, try moving out to the 20-25 foot range. When my dad and I used fished it, we always got the trash fish in less than 20 fow. Hope this helps. shu.

Sparkly Boat. Very nice for use in Fla. That is one Large Bass. Enjoy the warm, and good fishing.

Have you guys tried using in line planner boards, or big boards yet? I fish on Lake Erie, and those will out produce dipseys hands down on some days. I like to run a variety of spoons, stick baits, and harnesses from the boards with jet divers, or run smaller dipseys, with rubber bands also. And I agree, dipsey's will out fish riggers all day long.

It works very well for walleye !

Is this still available?
