One heck of a game, and birthday present from the Giants. Stan, we will take a rain check on the Napa Valley wine. We have a great variety of Niagara and finger lakes wine if you would like. Cher said the cheese from Wisconsin is an option too! Next season, OK? :razz: Pete I knew that you were partying hardy, just for the fact that it is many hours into the morning, and I hadn't seen a post yet... [ Post made via Android ]

Jeff, great to see you back! Your questions are good and have been answered in all the cases offered. I would only add that the water color is a big factor in choosing a spoon program. I know that most of your fishing is on the east end and the water there stays very clear through the late spring and early summer. I like some smaller spoons in clear water, cheated mup style. Meaning a small spoon off the ball say 15 ft back and a larger spoon in matching color above it 8 ft back and fixed 5 to 6 ft above the smaller Target spoon. It acts like an attractor and gives you a second chance for the clear water shy looker to see the Target spoon as a stragler and smaler victim to grab. Stained green water is where salmon tend to be less shy of close inspecton, and the flasher fly combo run in the mix will offer some "homing" qualities to the spread. Flash and sound are long distance attractors when water is off color.o Like everyone mentioned don't beat yourself to death over color of spoons. Good action is key. Speed control is everthing. You can try different colors and see what works better but the action of the spoons are really the trigger for aggression. Check your spoons next to the boat, try different conections to your leader. Swivels, rings, snaps will change action sometimes and make the difference between a knockoff, or a solid hit. Looking forward to your success posts! Oh and now you can use three rods per person, now you can tripple your troubles....hahaha Mark [ Post made via Android ]

It is true that the vehicle in use for business with a business name on it no matter what weight it is must have DOT # displayed. However it must be doing for hire hauling of a cargo and be insured as a carrier with coverage as such for doing business. That being said, it goes back to if you are displaying a business name on your pickup, van , livery, farm, ag, commercial, plated vehicle, you better then have a DOT # diplayed there as well. The question of a commercial plate on a pickup hauling a personal boat comes down to if the vehicle displays a business name for hire on it. Even a taxi or a four wheeled van hauling one package for a rate must have dot reg. What Kieth said is right. He is using those vehicles for business, and that places a whole set of rules that are regulated by the federal motor carrier safety administration. It is like he said a revenue grab for the state of Ny if you conduct business for hire with those commercial plates. Just keep the business name off the vehicle. If it is a half ton and the unladen weight is 5500 or less get it plated passenger. The rules are fuzzy about pickups as a passenger vehicle. On one hand they call it commercial if it is over 5500 unladen weight but on the other hand if it has seats behind the driver seat as in a extended or crew cab they say it can be a passenger class. I wonder if the dmv is a division of the irs.....crazy. Bottom line I wouldn't worry if its a personal vehicle and its a recreational endeavor. No names, not over loaded or oversized. If the boat is in business and it it yours ..on your trailer...hauled by your diesel one ton...and the boat has a charter name on it with a phone number or http://WWW.whatevercharter.com or e mail..you are advertising for hire. The right dot cop wearing a baseball cap will probably gouge you on the dot reg. If It's just a boat name ..no inc., dba, LLC. and no advertising permanently applied, then you would probably not get a second look. Unless the above mentioned over dimension problems exist.

The US DOT# only applies to vehicles over 26,000 gvwr. It has only to with those vehicles used in interstate transportation FOR HIRE. You may have your business name on a pickup truck as long as it's not for hire transporting cargo or passengers for a rate. There is no state regulation unless the vehicle is over 26,000 lbs gvwr. However if the boat you own is over 102 inches wide or over 70 feet in total length of the combination you should apply for an oversized permit to be compliant. Also the gvwr takes into account the hauling vehicles registered weight AND the trailers registered weight in combo. IE... the truck could be registered 10,000 and the trailer registered 8000 making the combined gvwr 18,000 lbs. Mark [ Post made via Android ]
