Going fishing? Pack your ****

Me thinks we have gone waaaaayyyyyyyyy overboard with this law.   Yes the pun was intended. 

and fishermen were complaining about displaying their PA. lisc. for all to see??

With gas prices what they are today, show me a captain that will fish past the borders!

Yep-- I feel safer already--- the Mexicans can come and go as they please but watch out for those Canadians.

After 911 happend people were complaining about the security issue not being strong enough. Now that they are making new laws to protect us, people will complain about it being too much...

The real shame of that thinking is that there are already enough laws on the books to keep most of us safe, but they don't get enforced.  New laws aren't always the answer. 

This is stupid, but just wait...  Next thing will be mandatory ****s for ALL passengers on ALL boats coming back from the lake, no matter how far out they went.  After that, the little chips in the neck.  1984 in the 21st century.

Yes rich they did..Last yr over 100.000 non Canadian Illegals tryed to get in,And many dont get caught!!!
there is over 100.000 people in this country on student visa's that they are looking for!!!(from the mid east) Yes pack your **** and your pistol...

I need a charter....no fish...no rods...no reels....just a 1 way trip to canada....That marina wont know what hit em....
 
Complete garbage really...It doesnt really effect us in PA much since the Canadian line is kinda out there....i dont think with the price of gas any1 is going to take that run out of Walnut or Erie to Canadaian waters....But if so i guess you'd better have your ****...
 
It does however probaly aggrivate the guys in the eastern and westen ends of the lake who often fish canadian waters....

Best fishing in Canada ..... Thats laughable ...... If you need to travel that far out to catch fish you're doing something wrong. Ohio & Michigan will be a really bad deal but for most us in the eastern basin there's more than enough oppurtunity in PA/NY waters for perch , walleye , lake trout , small mouth , steelhead ..... That worries me about lake Ontario & fishing the Niagra Bar . I guess if the canucks stay on they're side & we stay on ours the KING fishing won't be compromised .LOL

Hey, do we want our borders tightened up or not?  Its not about Canadians or Mexicans attacking us, its about terrorists who do their homework and know what the easiest ways to get into our country are.  Many of us complain that we need to secure ourselves first before we go to other countries and do things there.  Well, here's a perfect example of the govt trying to do that.  But we are so far removed from 9/11, that we have become desensitized to the horror of what happened.   
So we complain at the inconveniences of airport security checks, **** requirements, etc.  But if something did happen and terror struck again, we would be up in arms about the lack of security.  We can't have security without some sacrifice.  It's either American lives or minor inconveniences, you choose. 

 
 
Best thing I've read since I joined this forum......

Sorry, but that's rediculous. Compairing "nazi style" with checking ****s??????
 
Go read your history before making statements like that.
 

Waste of money and time?

Hardly a waste of time or money.
 
 

How much is a ****? Where do you get one? How long does it take?

How much is a ****? 100 or $160 if you want it within 6 weeks
Where do you get one? Most Post Offices.
How long does it take? 2-3 months or around 6 weeks if you pay extra.
The delay to get it was much longer but they are catching up with backlog.

Beginning January 31, 2008, U.S. and Canadian citizens 19 years and older who enter the U.S. at land and sea ports of entry from within the Western Hemisphere will need to present government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license as proof of identity, along with proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or naturalization certificate, or a ****. Children age 18 and under will be able to enter with proof of citizenship. Verbal claims of citizenship and identity alone will not be sufficient to establish identity and citizenship for entry into the United States.Note: Children age 18 and under will need to present a birth certificate, naturalization certificate or a **** to enter the U.S.

Hey Mike a lot of times after the spawn the fish in the west half are in canada. The bass fishing is around pelee island for sure on that end. It is a big issue out there for sure

Just wait until gas is $4.00/gallon this summer.

I wish I could get gas at a marina for only $4/gal
I would be surprised if the premium fuel I need is under $4.50/gal

As a moderator I would expect you to actually READ the posts, I said "nazi style "security acts", not nazi style checking ****s, I read my history and we are going down a very dangerous road , sir. I suggest you go read yours! I never intended to go this route but after reading fisherofmens post where he sounds like a parrot spewing out the same garbage the politicans  (who never even read the  homeland security act before voting on it) do!! dont tell me about history I fought for this country over in vietnam so guys like you can sit behind a computer desk and pretend to know the score!! you were dead wrong on this one.
