Ohio’s boating officers will be kicking off summer by taking part in a boating and drinking crackdown this coming weekend.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says the goal is to cut down on the number of accidents related to boating under the influence.
State watercraft officers are taking part in the operation that will see an increase in patrols, breathalyzer tests and checkpoints.
Ohio’s watercraft division says drinking alcohol while boating is the leading factor in boater deaths nationwide.
Last year’s weekend blitz across Ohio saw state officers make three arrests for boating under the influence."



Just passing the info along....
They were out in full force this past weekend. My wife and I were up with another couple. We were going to attempt a trip at perch fishing until the E, NE winds changed the mind of our wives. We anchored in the harbor and were checked by both the State Police and the ODNR.
