The Stones sunk another boat:confused: and here is the current net report

http://www.fishmanistee.com/content/view/163/61/

Capt. Dan,

What I was told when I got mine that it was my choice on paying the full amount or getting the discounted rate if I paid the full amount it would be good for 5 years if I took the discounted rate it would expire with my capt. license so I paid the 105.25 so it goes with my capt license witch expires in 2011 but they could not tell me if I could renew them at the same place and at the same time:confused: I agree with you that they really don't know whats going on. I"m glad I'm done with all this stuff so its time to start fishing the boat goes in next week.

Dan and others;

i spent most of the afternoon on the phone with the Coast Guard, US Customs and Border Protection (Border Patrol) and some Lawyer in Washington, D.C.

According to them, this law went into effect about 5 years ago.

But, I am thinking that as long as they issue my license, using the registration info for my (boat) vessel from the state, then I think I am good to go.

I was told from the USCG in Grand Haven that we were going to boarded this year (not while we are fishing), but it will be before or after and if your vessel is not documented you better have the paper work saying its in the works.The TWIC Card is required in September. I do hope when we get boarded after that they leave us alone. The USCG in Manistee are a good bunch of guys. That is true the law do go in effect awhile ago but now its going to enforced. We have a new commander in the greatlakes and things have changed. But I do know if you talk to two different people you will get two different answers.

I went and registered for my TWIC card on 03/27/08 and I pick it up on 04-10-08 it took two weeks I was told at the office in Traverse City Mi. that I just had to have it on me, so far its been a smooth ride it only took 10 days for my documentation. I hope my season goes this smooth

Looks Great Capt. Bill I don't see the need for poli-glo

I know that Stones owed the boat that sunk in ludington and stones is the fisher in Manistee.

I heard last year the Manistee launch was down about 1/3 from 2006 I did here there was alot more pressure in frankfort.

The way I understand it they are unmarked and there is no idea where they are.

I don't have all the details but the tribal fishers don't pull their net last fall and their is 21 nets lost some where in the lake:angry2: The Coast Guard vessel in Manistee got tangled in an unmarked net south of manistee so here in manistee things are getting worst. Right now nobody knows where these nets are.

It won't be long and he will be below ME:D

We use the same knot as Capt Bill and it has never fail:) (PRICELESS)

Just enter a spot on the map

Hey Guys,

I got the bottom covered:ps-020:
