I'm not sure what everyone else does but it went over and over the need to not only drain your boat after every use, which I do but also power wash the exterior and trailer after every trip, then dry the boat for a week before using it again, which I don't do. I have never had my boat in Lake Powell, so why should I feel guilty if don't power wash my boat after every use??
I believe it’s in case the water you’ve fished has quagga which they don’t know about yet. Don’t know. I only fish the Gorge, boat stays there typically. The fact I have to remove my plug annoys the crap out of me when I dunk it in the same lake the next day.
Yes, I agree but it just harps on the same thing and their questions makes huge assumptions, there was not any other answer like, "I don't use my boat in any Quagga lake/lakes, so there is no reason to follow checklist". IMO it's a flawed survey when they don't take that into account. They are trying to lump us all into one catergory and that is the problem with surveys like this, IMO.
