    Default Warning!!!!!


    Everyone ...just a reminder. Friday May 22 is the day the new PFD rule goes into effect on the COE lakes. Over 16 FT boats when running the lake will have to wear them and 16 FT and under have to wear them at all times.

    Good heads up! It never even occured to me that they were starting the new regs on Memorial Day weekend. Ought to be a good way to give a bunch of folks an expensive dose of reality, in the form of tickets! (but it seems kind of low to me, to debut a new reg at a time when the maximum number of unknowing folks would be out. Makes more sense to start it several weeks before or a week after something like Memorial Day, just to help get the word out and give folks a chance.)

    Maybe I'm missing something.

    They say... that they aren't going to write citations, just warnings. We'll see how long that lasts.

    Yeah, this was rolled out as a pilot program for educational purposes. Truth is, it's a COE deal and the game wardens aren't playing with it. Had one tell me point blank "I don't know who the (*&^^(&(?! they think is going to enforce this for 'em, cause I'm not going to write a ticket for it". Caveat - he said that right after it was published, might be the bosses on high have started to give them guidance on it by now and they may be enforcing it when it does get around to becoming a hanging offence. The good ole gubmint doesn't miss an opportunity to generate revenue and mask it as an educational program very often. It's coming, trust me.
