sure is about time ! never thought I would say this , good job  PFC.

This has been the law for several years now with the exception, I'm guessing, the angler will no longer be "forced" to buy ($5.00) and display a coin sized button, in place of the actual cumbersome license, and only available..... through Uncle Charrr.... ummmm, one 3rd party.


Heyyy, maybe the quarter sized license buttons will no longer be available and I now own 3 collectors items (dam, didn't buy one last or this year either) . Ahhhh heck, my luck the button will contnue to be available anyhow..... stupid buttons.

Anybody know if them PFBC "S.O.S" buttons still being sold?



Thanks for the the heads up Crappiefisher.


Good times & Tight lines.

Finally common sense sets in !  Ohio & NY have been like that forever ...I agree ...about time !

Any information on lake conditions...is it ice free.....thinking of bringing the boat up next week....for that fantastic early Panfish bite.

Not a chance its ice free...in fact its possible people could be ice fishing this weekend.

I was up on Sunday, lake was froze over shore to shore and as far as you could see north and south from the causeway . The only openings were at the bridges  for about 100 yards

Thanks guys.

Maybe PI bay in Erie?

South end is open.
