Well?????

Got my license online already.

I'm looking at trying Saturday off Smith Point - C/R - if predicted winds are 5-10.

Just got back from DNR with new boat reg. and boat fishing license.

And a much lighter wallet I'm sure.

Hopefully your trailer registration isn't due this year too.

Spot77 - Compared to some other states - we get a bargain.

Do not hold me to it but I think boat fees have been $12.00 a year since around 1980. That's $1.00 - $ 2.00 a month depending if you winterize or not.

I agree - the trailer fee is a nasty one but still cheaper then a slip.

Talked to a guy the other night - he pays $2,000.00 a year in Annapolis for a small boat - OUCH.

I like my slip fee.....$100 a year 15 minutes from the bridge.

Perfect for my small, shallow draft boat. If I ever get a bigger boat the price will jump to $180. Still....

Real question - who will catch first fish

[Bend-Lure]

I trailered my boat south and fished Sat and Sun out of VA Beach for Bluefin. Zero bites.
