I heard from a reliable source today that the COE annual boat launch passes were going up from $ 30 to $ 90 starting January 1st 2016. I didn't think to ask about if the price of the day pass was going up or not, but I would assume it will also.......
that sux....
For you that are over 62.you can get a senior pass from the usfish and.wildlife.service and the annual pass is half price as is Camping on the core lakes
if they do change it effective the first of the year i wonder if i will be able to go buy one in december of this year that will last til dec 2016??
I just talked to a lake manager with the COE and he said that talks are ongoing with nothing finalized yet. It's all government agencies such as the National Park Service also. He also said it would be a year or so before anything went into effect.
The guy told me if I got one in December, it would be good until next December for the $30......Quote:

If you live out of state can the launch passes be purchased to use,
They are COE launch passes good on any COE lakes or waterwaysQuote:

Gotta fund obummer care somehow!!!
Yep its a National COE Pass. I used mine in Texarkana, Texas a couple of years ago. That's how I found out.Quote:

That was to be expected when the price of oil (gas at the pumps) dropped. State revenue has a budget. The "more minners for me" attitude will get you one way or another.Quote:

Not skeered to say I use a COE boat launch 100 times throughout the year, thats 300 buck if I were to pay each time but with the pass its been being only 30 bucks. Little off, guys were jumping at a chance to pay 10 bucks to launch at Whittington 2 weeks ago in the Crappie Masters tourney, little mans before it closed was 6 or 7 bucks over there. The State Lakes are 7 for you to unload a boat and fish, if someone is fishing with you its 12. It is was it is, most of us burn more in gas on the lake than what it cost to unload at a COE ramp. Maybe just maybe they are wanting to build more of the docks in like they did at Grenada, man it sure is nice!!!
My opinion is it should be free to begin with. All the $$'s spent by fishermen in and around the lakes helps the state and local merchants. You don't pay to drive across the roads in the parks and lakes. And if they do raise the price, it certainly should not be 200% just because they haven't raised it in X # of years. I'd love for docks to be added at Sardis at areas that need it. But engineering point at sardis is the last area that needs one. Its already protected from wind, etc. and fairly easy to park your boat. Maybe if they could just show where the funds are being used I'd be more positive on paying. Doesn't make much sense I just paid $50 for a license and then turn around and pay almost double that to put my boat in.

The formula we'll use for this is the simple interest formula, or:
I= P x r x t
Where:
P is the principal amount, $3.00.
r is the interest rate, 2% per year, or in decimal form, 2/100=0.02.
t is the time involved, 24....year(s) time periods.
So, t is 24....year time periods.
To find the simple interest, we multiply 3 × 0.02 × 24 to get that:
The interest is: $1.44
Usually now, the interest is added onto the principal to figure some new amount after 24 year(s),
or 3.00 + 1.44 = 4.44. For example:
If you borrowed the $3.00, you would now owe $4.44
If you loaned someone $3.00, you would now be due $4.44
If owned something, like a $3.00 bond, it would be worth $4.44 now.
Not sure why I did that....Bored, I guess! :biggrin
Figure out how many fish will be caught out of Sardis this spring! :)Quote:
