Lake Host ???

AC2717 · 08-06-2012, 02:10 PM

agree BH,
since those ar emore portable they are more apt to jumpimg in and out of different lakes, not to mention guests of residents on the lake that just put them in anywhere. Not saying I do not like them, but it is a clear and present hazard that really cannot be control, also they do not pay like motor boats to go in and out nor contribute to the lake clean up fund or whatever you call it.

Again I have one myself but it stays on lake Winni. do I want to see a fee for one, not really but if it were $5 for a sticker for the kayak for the lake I do not think that would be a bad idea, and i hate fees

I think trailered boats probably have the highest incidence of transference because of the trailers. Almost every time I have found weeds after taking my boat out they have been caught between the boat and trailer or on the trailer itself. On most car top vessels there is nothing for the weeds to catch onto due to the smooth surface.

All recreational vehicles, be it paddle boat, motor boat, sail boat, ATV's, snow machine etc. carries some kind of envronmental sticker?

I think it is a good idea. A few bucks here and there to support the environment.

I agree. We should all pay to play. I think a good way to raise dedicated funds would be to sell "insurance" along with our fishing and hunting licenses. This would give the bearer a free ride if they were unfortunate enough to get in some predicament that required rescue services.

When I put in for the first time this season the Lake Host gave me a sticker which I promptly attached to my trailer. Now any time I put in or take out the Lake Host sees the sticker and just waves (Long Island causeway). I think all vessels should be checked and their captains educated about invasive plants.

The Lake Host at our ramp cant seem to remember I am there each week. He introduces himself each time. Even though we have several stickers on the trailer. He's real nice when he approches anyway...

People should also check their anchors. That's another easy way to move weeds around the lake.

I don't understand the sticker thing? Isn't the lake host supposed to check the boat for invasive species? How does having a sticker check the boat this time, it only says they checked the boat last time, right?

BTW, the DES boat people have been seemingly more active this year, maybe all the questions about facilities is driving action on their part. This is one law that I'm sure we all agree on.

I think the logic is that if you have a sticker you have been educated about the problem and are checking your boat for weeds.
