Mainer with a few questions

[Barkspud]

Hi folks love the forum. My son and I along with a friend are coming to NY mid April. I'm curious what I have to do to use my Maine registered boat in Ny? Do I have to get a permit or anything? I tryed to look it up online but didn't seem to find anything. We plan on doing some tributaries fishing for Steelies and want to fish the lake for some browns. I'm looking for a reasonable priced place for us to stay. Preferably where we may be close to some per fishing incase the winds to much for my small boat.

Don't have to do anything with boat as long as it is properly and currently registered in your home state. Just abide by NY Boating laws. Catching fish is another story, but u came to right site for info.

No need to register or obtain a permit in Ny. Just need to register in the state in which you live. Of course make sure you get your NYS fishing license and keep it on you while fishing.

Not sure trib fishing is still viable today, let alone in a couple weeks. Maybe casting off the piers but come mid April there will be Smallies and Rock Bass not many Bows.

Check out the Olcott area, great piers, great docks, great place for fisherman

Thanks we always go legal or I don't go and yes my boat all Maine legal. It was end of April and into may when I was out two years ago. So I understand every years different and is a crazy winter. I just had a friend come back from there said was still fish where he was fishing. Hoping to get into some browns I had great luck from shore last trip and learned some locations to fish. We only have 3 or 4 days this trip..
