All,
We have a couple of issues that need some attention...

First - 2 weeks in a row I have witnessed boats with no stern light. Its IMPOSSIBLE to see a boat without this light from behind or the side... I'm not getting into specifics, but if your anchor light goes out on you or ejects off your boat, you need to have your partner use a cellphone or flashlight to at least try to light it up or to make other boats in the area as aware as you can. Have a backup plan and put out some effort to not only keep yourself safe but your fellow anglers as well. Not having this light is a DQ, so if you see people out there without the proper lights please report them to the TD.

Second - Guys coming in late. Its hard to see much at the ramp right now with no working parking lot lights. You must be inside the buoy by 9:30, best bet is to go by the clock on your graph. The minute that sucker turns to 930 any boats not in are not going to be allowed to weigh. We've gone on an honor system and as of late it seems to be taken advantage of. Someone will be posted up on the dock or in their boat waiting to load looking out for folks coming in late, don't be the guy that has a nice bag of fish and shows up a minute late.... you wont be allowed to weigh.

Last - No Wake to the river. The order you get to the no wake buoy is the order you go up the river. Top speed in a no wake is supposed to be 5 MPH or less, so if your second to the no wake and the boat in front of you is going 5 mph there is no way you can pass that boat.. however if your second to the no wake and the guy in front of you is going 2 mph that's a different story. Best way to avoid issue is simply go up the river in the order you arrived at the no wake or don't exceed 5 mph.

Any questions or problems? Ask away!
