gonna make a trip to sardis and maybe some other lakes if possible and have been to the state websites but it seems like its hard to tell for sure what the boat regulations are.hear in tn for a 17 ft boat you must have lifejackets,throw cushion,whistle,paddle,fire ext.,so would their be anything else i would need or would i be ok.and on sardis is their a pole limit,and is 20 the creel limit on crappie,thanks:D:D:D
