Thanks ADC it is worth a shot. Funny that you heard what happened, word does get around fast in little towns eh. Thanks all

I guess he didn't like the way I looked. Also It was a $320 fine that hurts the bank account. I guess I don't have much of a chance going to have to pay, thanks for your responses.

The cop was a real piece of work also, this law has been in place since 2002 so I was shown which was news to me. I do not break rules usually and felt like crap because my step son 6 years old was standing there while he was yelling at me and making me out to be criminal. So if anyone is heading up that way make sure to have all your saftey equipment and licence's he will be there again.

I live just off this lake it has some good bass fishing in some spots on this lake, fish the weed lines and stump areas, there is some good lunkers around.

Hi to all, I am new to this forum but would like a little help if possible. I was out on the weekend doing some fishing with my step son, had a great day on the water he caught lots of perch and so did I. When I came back to shore I took my boat out of the water and there is a cop standing there pointing at me, so I walked over and asked what is the problem he replies do you have a boaters card, I said "no I don't need one", he say's "yes you do with a boat under 4m everyone has to have a boaters licence". So to make a long story short I got a ticket for no licence, I have a 12' 2" fiberglass boat with a 9.5 johnson, I thought and heard from lots of people that I didn't need one till 2009 because of my age (I am 28), but if my boat was 1' longer I would not need a licence till 2009. What the heck is with this crap I know they are trying to make our water ways safer but this system is a little crazy the way they have it set up on who needs one and who doesn't. Do I have a chance to fight this in court, or am I just going to have to bite the bullet? Thanks in advance.
