I just filled out this questionaire. I also made listed my concerns and made suggestions on what I would like to see pertaining to the AIS rules. I only think this could help and who knows, maybe your thoughts were even considered making it an eye opening experience.

I filled it out too, noting the lack of any significant effort to block asian carp which seem to be a bigger threat than zebra mussels.

This is a good way to voice your concerns, frustrations, praise (did I really just type this), or whatever you feel to the DNR about AIS.

Now the talk is extra fees on boaters It's talk if they really think the fees will help stop the spread.

As long as you never take it down the road you should be fine. The plug only has to be out when you leave an access.

Enjoy your fines when you get caught towing the boat.

It's an attitude like that that will make it harder on all of us in the end.

You bumped a two month old thread to say that?? If you want to go trolling I'd suggest a local lake and a Rapala.

Blah blah blah blah, troll troll troll, blah blah blah

I'm still waiting on pictures of those hundreds of 45"+ Tiger muskies that you claim to have caught. Care to share those, or would you prefer to keep on trolling??
