I understand stopping the spread of the invasive species, and agree its a good idea, but the constant speal and questioning 2-4 times a weekend, every weekend really gets annoying, especially when its the same host asking the same questions when you put in and when you take out. Even on a smaller lake where they only see 6-8 boats and a dozen canoes/kayaks over the course of the day.
My boat was inspected for plants after pulling out of a Maine lake on Friday morning. It passed and the host thanked me for allowing the inspection. When I was tying the boat down to the trailer, I found two big pieces of weed clinging to the stern area. So much for inspections...
