OVI boating crackdown scheduled for this weekend...

Yea glad to hear it.......... Until you're one of the trollers/non drinkers made pull all of your gear in by three different agencies, only to be checked for alcohol within 45 minutes between all 3! No where close to the the type of boaters/vessels the're supposedly looking for!

Not to mention the time that it kills if you happen to be a customer paying a charter boat by the hour. I'm sure a lot of the captains would take that into consideration and make up for it but some people are on schedules nowadays. They can tell what make rod and reel you are using with spotting scopes so you think they could leave the right people alone. Hope the best for you trollers and charter captains that you get left alone. Good luck Stay safe!

the law isn't going to make much money this weekend.

it does matter if you drive drunk or not I used to do it when I was young bought my 27 sporty when I was 26 years old in 1984. now I don't do it maybe every blue moon ill have a cold beer if its hot on the lake been years. I want to be safe for kids and passengers. have seen guys plastered driving there big boats bouncing off docks. now when I get back 2 dock they taste better 2 me and you have no worry's getting pulled over is time consuming one time took an hour they checked our drivers license for warrants through there systems 5 guys. after being tied up we just started fishing while we waited they were nice about it and just doing there job one officer even made a comment that he sure hoped it was fish blood all over the back of the boat. it was a good perch day. but if they were not there imagine the problems. bottom line they are there to protect the boaters on lake erie from unsafe conditions we need them
