I want to take a rowboat out onto a local California lake. What boating laws/licenses should I be aware of?

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Kramer asked:


This would be a tiny, simple, oar-powered wooden rowboat. I'd row it out into the middle of the lake just for fun. Do I need a license? Does my boat need registration? Are there certain laws or etiquette regarding my behavior which I should be aware of? Where do I start looking?
Additionally, what if I want to do this at night? Am I legally required to have lights or anything like that?

joyous asked:


I was born in July of 1994 and I was wondering if that is old enough to take a boating test and get a license in Maryland. So that way I can legally operate a PWC.
Also if you know can you tell me a site where I can look at this.

Vista View asked:


I was thinking about getting a Basstender 10.2 boat with a small outboard/trolling motor. It has 2 swivel seats and an aerated livewell. My friend were thinking it would be a good rig for catch some bass/tarpon/snook in our local canals. We would buy used off of craigslist. Do you think this is a good idea? Advice? Thanks.

I'm going wodniactwa latem. Będziemy tam przez cały dzień bardzo dużo jak na 2 lub 3 dni. Kiedy pierwszy dostać się tam, to może być trochę chłodno, ale po to ogrzewa się ona naprawdę rozgrzać. I nie będzie coraz mokrej lub cokolwiek. Chcę nosić mój kostium kąpielowy, ale jest ok lub zbyt nieodpowiedni? Nie chcę nosić to, kiedy pierwszy dojechać, to będzie zbyt zimna. Tak więc, nie wiem co robić. Prosimy o pomoc! Any ideas? THANKS!

Good bass fishing spot in KC? Fishing in Kansas City?

Monday, August 10th, 2009
Just moved here in the fall and am looking for a pond or lake with any kind of bass fishing. I live in the Waldo/Brookside area so something close to there would be great. No boat, so will be dock or fishing from the shore. Does not need to be a big lake - just something! Thanks for your help!
