Paying Harbormaster to Launch

[jigstick]

What is the proper procedure for paying the harbormaster if you are leaving the harbor to fish prior to them arriving for work?  At Barcelona on Erie I just radio the harbormaster around 630am and let him know what truck is mine and that I will pay my lauch fee when I get back to port.  Should I follow this same procedure at Wilson and Olcott as well?  I usually leave the harbor to get out on the grounds by 5am.  Nobody will be there at that time, and I dont want to get a ticket for not paying

In the past, I take pen and paper with me and leave a note on the inside of the windshield of my truck stating I will pay when I return. I've never had a problem.

^{Not sure about up on Lake O but at Dunkirk, they get you when you get back in. They keep a list of license plate numbers when they get there if people have launched earlier.}

They do the same at the Catt.
