What's up with Minnesota

[Bobberineyes]

After driving through 12 states recently, most of the outer states to the west with fishing opportunities have mandatory boat checks as soon as you cross the border.  Its usually held in weigh in stations. Billboards lined the highways on bringing invasive's into the states waters. We came up to our home state through Iowa and nothing,  no boat check no nothing.   The boat's being brought in from that one highway in a year's time is un countable,  let alone the rest. I understand we cant watch all boarder roads, but they could learn from others.

Um, their more worried about the state with 10,000 lakes infesting their 5 lakes and that pond!

  That's fine and dandy leech,  but at least they're doing something about it. And I believe Nodak was one of them.

We have plenty of in state sources for our invasives, we don't worry about imports.
