If you purchase a used boat in another state and register it in the state you live in does the registration number change? Example: I live in Michigan and if I purchased a boat in Ohio. Ohio boat registration numbers start off with OH. Would I get a new registration number or would I end up with the Ohio number still?

Any pictures of Junior with his first wally?

Sounds like you had a great day. What setting did you have your wire dipsey on? Was it a mag or a regular? How deep do you think it was running? Very nice of you to donate your time and boat to taking the youths out fishing!

Walt will take you out Nice job Terry. Thanks for the report!

Someone should have stepped in sooner when it came to managing Lake Huron Everyone is watching Lake Michigan to see what is going to happen. All of the surrounding states have cut back on the stockings. Lets hope its not to late

ALBANY - A Great Lakes bill that would affect the future of hazardous waste dumping in New York State - particularly at the Chemical Waste Management landfill in Niagara County - passed the Assembly Thursday and awaits a vote by the State Senate today. State Sen. George D. Maziarz, R-Newfane, a leader of the Senate majority, was considered by some to be the key to moving the bill forward. More than a dozen environmental groups, residents of Porter and Lewiston and local politicians have lined up to support the bill, which would require any hazardous waste operator, including CWM, to prove that there is zero discharge into the Great Lakes. Proponents rallied earlier this week to ask for support from the community. http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20060623/1021453.asp

Get ready to bleed. The torrential rain in our area has resulted in a huge number of mosquito-breeding habitats, areas that already are producing swarms of the pesky insects. "It's amazing. There was instant mosquitoes. The eggs out there just hatched right away," said Lee Mitchell, biologist with the Toledo Area Sanitary District, which is responsible for mosquito control in Lucas County. Those eggs had been lying dormant just waiting for some water to hatch, he said. But for all the "instant" mosquitoes out there now, Mr. Mitchell has worse news. http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060623/NEWS32/606230357

Ontario boaters caught operating a vessel while drinking can now lose their motor vehicle driver’s licence. A private member’s bill, introduced at the provincial legislature by Liberal backbencher David Zimmer, passed without opposition Thursday and was signed into law immediately. “It was crucial to try and get this bill through this spring before we adjourned so it caught this summer’s boating season,†said Zimmer. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1151057946856&call_pageid=968332188492&col=968793972154

Arguments over what to do with antique Hulett ore unloaders have consumed far too much energy and attention for too long In their heyday, mammoth Hulett ore un loaders made Great Lakes ports more pro ductive and gave muscular testimony to America's imagination and industrial power. Designed in 1898 by Clevelander George H. Hulett, the 100-foot-tall, 880-ton machines used cantilevered arms and enormous buckets to scoop iron ore, coal and limestone from the lake freighters that supplied steel mills across the region. Hulett's goliaths cut the time it took to unload a big ship from nearly a week to half a day. In time, 77 Huletts served the Great Lakes, 14 in Cleveland alone http://www.cleveland.com/politics/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/opinion/1150965362213020.xml&coll=2

DRUMMOND ISLAND -- While anglers at the southern end of Lake Michigan sing the blues about the collapse of good salmon fishing, they're whistling a happy tune 250 miles to the north. Here, fishermen are returning to shore with good mixed bags of chinook and Atlantic salmon, along with the occasional steelhead. Ivan Gable runs his charterboat off Drummond Island, where he lives, but good salmon fishing has been reported from Cedarville on the Michigan shoreline 30 miles west to Manitoulin Island in Canadian waters 70 miles east. "It's been a really good spring, especially for Atlantics," Gable said. "We're not just getting a lot of them, they're nice mature fish, 8-10 pounds. They stocked some bigger fish three years ago, and we can tell from the fin clips that they're the ones we're getting. They seem to be surviving a lot better than the smaller fish they stock." http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060622/SPORTS10/606220403/1058

Welcome to the site Bill! If you need anything, give a yell. Mike

I want to see the picture with the trees on it.

Any rod holders on the side, or is it just the riggers? How many rods can you fish at a time?

Congratulations on getting your Captain's License!

I must have identified them correctly this time, because no one said anything :cpox:

How do you have it rigged?

Do you have a close up picture so we can see the riggings?

I will second that!
