Stopped by Fenwick yesterday and it was loaded with stockers. Grabbed the fly rod and frew it at them for a while for some quick fun.
Made a big mistake today though. Went out in my 16ft. Motor restriction on the lake but i was using my electric. Still had my big motor on the boat and shure as sheet the game warden shows up and eyeballed us for an hour or so. She sat at the launch for what seemed like forever. I deserved the ticket, but luckily she only called the mounties on me but we left before they showed. I broke a new record for trailering the boat though
I hate that no motors on the boat rule. I agree and follow all the other rules but... now I can no longer fish the lakes i fished as a kid. And that sucks cuz that is what i mainly bought the boat for. I dont' see the problem with just bagging the motor. Looks like i'll have to pollish up my other boat before the opener.
Any of you got sited or given the "talk" to about a motor on your boat in gas motor resticted lakes?
I asked a state patrolman last year at the Steel lake opener about the boats on the lake already that had gas motors and he said they can't be touching the water. So i pointed out the ones that had the motors all the way in the water and he said yes, he know, and is waiting on another officer and a tow truck. HEHEHE. So, we launched right in front of him and he said nothing about our motor.
