National Fishing Week and More...
National Fishing Week in Canada this year began on July 4th and runs right through until the 12th. Fishing week is about fishing for certain, but it offers the additional opportunity for Canadians to spend quality time on the water with friends and family just enjoying our waterways. If you are new to fishing our featured video will give you the confidence to get started and if you are a seasoned angler maybe this is a great time to introduce someone close to you to the fishing lifestyle. Product focus in this issue offers a few innovative marine products for convenience and lower-power draw on the water. All of this and more in this week's issue. Happy Reading.

LEGISLATORS IN THE U.S. LOOKING TO CHARGE TRANSIENT BOATERS NEW FEE
As part of the current North Carolina budget debate, the state General Assembly is currently considering legislation that would impose a significant new user fee on all recreational boats 24 feet and longer that are used in coastal waters. For example, the costs proposed for the new North Carolina "Coastal Waterways User Identification Fee" for a 25-foot boat would be $75, $128 for a 32-foot boat, and $200 for a 40-footer.
