artcarney you should reconsider drinking and boating. There is a reason it is illegal - its dangerous.

Besides that if they catch you (which is just a matter of time if you do it) it will cost you.

Be safe out there guys and THANK a CO the next time you see one. They are the reason we have fish to catch!

I don't drink and boat. Reread my post. I drink and let a DD drive. No different than going to a bar or Applebee's for a few cold ones and letting a DD drive home. Yes, it is illegal to drink in public, whether it be on the water, standing in your frontyard, or sitting at a patio bar in a public place. If you ever go on Barkley Lake, the outdoor bar there at Buzzard Rock Marina is in view of the public, and police could easily bust people for drinking in public...but you know what? They serve beer in cups because of this. Could police bust people? Sure! Will they? No, because efforts are made to keep it out of public view. This is why if you do choose to drink in public, put it in a cup! I have no sympathy for those that blatantly display their Bud Light can while on the lake.......that's just dumb, and asking for an inspection, because if you're dumb enough to do that, then you're just dumb enough to get behind the wheel, or man the tiller handle.

As for your comment "THANK a CO the next time you see one. They are the reason we have fish to catch!" - that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The COs should be thanking us - if we didn't choose to fish or buy boats, they wouldn't have a paycheck or a job. They work for us, not the other way around.

Jarrod well said.

Art, As an FYI if you need a DD while you are boating it is still ILLEGAL! Alcohol on public waters is against the law. Whether you ar drinking it or not.
