Do You Need To Register Your Boat?

If you've been holding off registering your boat - we suggest you don't hold off any longer. If you have an expired or expiring registration; make sure you renew your boat decals before October 24, 2013 when a new state law will add a $10 late fee for registration renewal after expiration.

Your boat registration is good for three years. It expires on the last day of your birth month in the third year of registration. Avoid having to pay the extra $10 by renewing your boat's registration before it expires.

Do you want to try your hand at fishing but don't have the necessary equipment to do so? Maybe you'd like to take the kids fishing too but that would require additional gear. Well, fortunately for us, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources has a Fishing Tackle Loaner Program which lets you borrow fishing equipment for free. The program provides fishing poles and stocked tackle boxes. Did we mention it's FREE!?

Children under 16 do not need a fishing license but older anglers will need to purchase a license. There are over 25 State Parks and Historic Sites that are active in the program. We're pretty sure you'll find a great fishing spot close to home. You can find participating parks by clicking here.
