Post by **Bakertize** » February 12th, 2006, 12:42 pm

canoe and kayak reg. is not required in the state of FL. as of now, But next year FWC, BAC (boating advisory council), and many countys in the state will support this.

Poll as yes or no...?
I'd like to know what the money would intended to be used for and, more importantly, how the money collected would be tracked.
Like lottery for education...

Sure. Now we don't have enough money to reduce class size.

Off the soap box.
So far, I say NO.

Ive been in a long debate over this proposal for about two months now with other folks and other yak assoc. and I think the concern here aught to be where the money from registered paddle craft going to go.

wetlands = YES
Red fish / trout fisheries = YES
any inshore resources = YES
Reef management= NO
Grouper limits and the such =NO
Offshore enforcement = NO

I'd like to how they are going to handle this if it takes place

Row boats, canoe's, kayaks.
Hmmm. how about inner tubes and beach rafts.. " Hey you in that boogie board pull over ! "

I am completely against the registration of all non-motorized watercraft.

The use of any vessel or vehicle that utilizes muscle power should be unrestricted. There are entirely too many sedentary people in the U.S.

Totally against it, next thing you know Charles will have to register his bike to get his canoe to the water.

If you put a trolling motor on a canoe in Virginia you have to register it. I think Kayaks have to be registered in Minnesota already.

Is Charles the guy who is down at Wakulla beach road ?

Post by **Charles** » February 13th, 2006, 7:37 am

No, I'm currently sitting in front of the computer.

I live in the Wakulla Gardens area (near the Spring Creek Hwy/Lower Bridge Rd intersection), but I do take this rig down to Wakulla Beach from time to time.
