.... we usually launch from North Point marina, which is a few hundred
yards from the border with Wisconsin. Early in the season (when the fish
are frequent, but small) the Wis. DNR is out in force. They hover just
north of the border and then drive up next to you. Remove license from
pocket and hold up -- usually. Last spring, we were checked and had to
speak with Mr. Warden over the VHF. Had to tell him some string of
numbers from the license (customer number, IIRC). He presumably ran these
numbers thru some kinda 'puter to make sure we had paid the proper vig
for the license and salmon stamp.

I guess the moral of the story is that the colored paper trick musta been
thought of......

Figures. The *******s are always one step ahead of me.

I know the marina......grew up in Kenosha. Haven't been down quite that
far in a while, but I've been paddling along much of the lakeshore from
near the state line to Manitowoc the last two years.

You are clearly a far more advanced paddler than I. Michelle and I toodle
around slow rivers and small lakes in our little kayaks, but I've never
attempted to get out in actual water. I have a feeling that would be an
entertaining experience -- after the defibrillator burns healed.


You should let me know when
you've got a free day some weekend. We can go out in kayaks and troll
along the shore.

Hmmmm.... would my little Dagger Zydeco suffice? (nine and a half footer)


There ARE fish to be caught that way. I was much surprised, at
first, to see quite a few trout and salmon while out paddling. It's not
my favorite way to fish either, but what the hell.....if I'm out there
anyway.

Makes sense.

"Curdistan", "Canuckistan" what's the difference? :-)

I heard that new-fangled electricity reaches as far north as Houghton. Len
told me.
