Water or not, doesn’t matter

Arrgggg. Yes we all know that ZM will likely be spread to 95-100% of MN lakes. It is just a matter of how soon. We also know that our kids will have sex at an early age, likely try a variety of drugs and drink like fishes. Because this is true, does this mean we quit trying to teach them the practices that might help them to make slightly better choices? I think not. AIS is something mainly spread by man-made objects, boats, docks, lifts, gill nets, water related equipment, etc, do we just give up trying to slow it down until a biological solution can be found? Or try methods to slow it down? Purple loosestrife is a good example, it went unchecked for years. Then after much research a weevil was found that could control it to acceptable levels. I’m for using moderate measures to keep the spreading of ZM to a crawl. Those who profess that the AIS laws are hokum, give license to those who want to employ harsh measures.

Excess speed is often the root cause of the accident. The same can’t be said of boat plugs and AIS.

All I can say is we’ll just have to agree to disagree.

Agreed, although with speed & the plug out, you can get to the lake faster

but with the plug in and the cover off, you can launch sooner when you get there

assuming the eyes are not watching you pull into the ramp…
