[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 325991, member: 983"] They're coming for sure. I think for some lakes it will make the fishing better, some far worse, and some you won't know. Fishing is the smaller part of it. Water intakes and other structures are the real PITA for mussels. We'll pay for that. Geography plays a part in terms of prevention though. I just fished in WY. Inspected at the border, and really I90 and I25 are the main entrances for boats. Add in inspections and each lake and they have a fairly good defense against AIS. Now, is that possible in ND, SD, or MN? Heck no. Too many ways in, too many lakes. They're going to get here soon enough. That isn't to say I won't do my part to slow the spread. I fished Sharpe a week ago and if I would have had my own boat their, I'd have made sure it was dry before I dropped it in another "clean" lake. Even if they are coming, we can make an effort to slow it down. Valid points on the trailer bunks.....if they aren't dry they can carry mussels and veligers. If the bottom is covered and on the bunks, not sure you could really decontaminate without the boat off the trailer in the air.... [/QUOTE]
