Said his wife is a science teacher, so well-versed with AIS prevention. *Second boater said he always pulls the plug, inspects around bottom of boat and waits at least two weeks before entering another waterbody. *One member of the fourth party of boaters was Reed Saam (715-779-3750), a Fisheries Biologist with Red Cliff. He said that one of the fisheries boats was in Saxon Harbor, prepared to do a sturgeon study when the storm hit on Monday night. He said the boat was found 30 miles from shore. *The fifth boater (powerboat) was already powerwashing his boat when I approached him. He then tilted his motor to drain water from motor. He made a good point that powerwashing and cleaning boat no only prevents AIS but also keep boats in good shape and working order.00000005414413100000

The third boater (powerboat) had socks on his rollers for his trailer. He said that it prevents scuff marks on his hull. I wonder if it prevents AIS from adhering to the rollers and hull too.00000000000000000000

The third boater (powerboat) had a cabin on Lynx Lake in Vilas County. He sold the property in 2012, and wonders about the fate of the lake since then. It has a public access.00000000000000000000

The first boater (powerboat) claimed that it is the bass fishermen that have caused the entire problem with AIS. It's the fishing tournaments, when the bass fishermen are jumping from lake to lake that is the root of the AIS problem. 2). The third boater (fisherman) is concerned about VHS. He said that there was a lot of publicity about it initially, but now you hardly hear anything about it. What's the current status of VHS, he wonders?00000000000000000000
120328525Adam Haecker8/31/2015 12:00 PM8/31/2015 4:00 PM404Lake Superior -- Bayfield City Boat Launch10019622Bayfield132240058040009/11/20151). The third boater (sailboat) was from Kansas. He said that AIS enforcement in Kansas is basically non-existent.00000000000000000000
120110223Adam Haecker8/30/2015 10:00 AM8/30/2015 3:00 PM505Lake Superior -- Bayfield City Boat Launch10019622Bayfield5959140311390122008/31/20151). The first boater (sailboat) has a ballast system for stabilizing his boat. He was asking what to do with the ballast water if it has been sitting in his tanks for a few days. 2). The City of Bayfield installed a new sign at the washing area that says "Boat washdown area only. 15 min. max. No unattended parking allowed. Violators will be cited and/or towed. City of Bayfield Police Department" 3). There isn't a 'No Powerloading' sign at the Bayfield landing. 4). The 10th boater (fisherman) said that he caught spiny water fleas while fishing today in the Apostle Island. He didn't say exactly where. 5). The 14th boater has been in the Fox River near Appleton, Wisconsin, recently. She said that they are slowly cleaning it up, and are putting markers up to indicate where boaters can and cannot go.00000000000000000000

The third boater (powerboat) mentioned/suggested that the parking permit slip have the daily amount on it. Otherwise, boaters have to walk back to the permit drop box to read the fee. 2). The sixth boater (powerboat) is involved with controlling Eurasian Water Milfoil in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. He said that EWM used to be a serious threat to the Beaver Dam area, but with enough volunteers and enough hand-pulling, they have controlled it. He also said many people confuse EWM with Coon's Tail. 3). The seventh boater said that there was a tug boat that came from Superior, Wisconsin, several years ago, and sat in the Bayfield marina until November. When the boat was pulled out for winterization, it was full of zebra mussels. Is the marina that warm? 4). The 12th boater (scuba divers) dived the Fin McCool and the Fedora in the Apostle Islands. Good news: They said that they didn't find any AIS, but did see a white crayfish. It was on its back. They wondered if it was faded and/or just the shell.00000000000000000000
119963031Adam Haecker8/17/2015 12:30 PM8/17/2015 4:30 PM404Lake Superior -- Bayfield City Boat Launch10019622Bayfield5353804424080008/24/20151). Talked to Bayfield Police Chief John Fangman today. There were three vehicles parked in front of the power wash station, which blocked access for boaters needing to clean their boats. They weren't parked illegally, however, because there isn't a yellow-painted strip on the curb or a no parking sign. Chief Fangman said he will talk to a Tom (head of Bayfield Public Works) about installing a sign. 2). The seventh boater (powerboat) informed me that the fish hatchery between Bayfield and Washburn has invasive species on display. He also said that he sees a lot of mudpuppies around Port Superior.00000000000000000000
119812206Adam Haecker8/16/2015 8:30 AM8/16/2015 5:30 PM909Lake Superior -- Bayfield City Boat Launch10019622Bayfield9243033302291143300008/17/20151). The seventh boater (powerboat) does some volunteering work with Boy Scouts. She said that a group of Eagle Scouts went to Jarvis Lake in Ramsey County, Minnesota, and destroyed a bed of Asian Carp eggs from the lake bottom last winter. 2). The 19th boater has done work with the National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation in Marquette, Michigan. The mission of this non-profit is to preserve and enhance five U.S. national parks on Lake Superior, including the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. He said that the organization is currently working on treating ballast water to stop the spread of AIS. He said that the only way to truly stop the spread is to have enclosed treatment facilities that boaters have to enter and exit before dropping in at any given waterbody. Boaters would back in, get a flush, dry and then enter a waterbody. Question: How would the treatment facilities be funded at every landing at every lake?00000000000000000000
119812000Adam Haecker8/15/2015 8:30 AM8/15/2015 5:30 PM909Lake Superior -- Bayfield City Boat Launch10019622Bayfield3062793606291244293008/17/20151). The third boater is a member of the Manitowish Chain of Lakes Association in Wisconsin. 2). The fifth boater (fisherman) mentioned that there are a few "fish sanctuaries" around the Apostle Islands, but didn't know what that designation means. I confirmed with the local creel officer from the Wisconsin DNR that the fisherman likely was referring to protected waters around local shoals in the Apostles where fish species spawn. 3). The fourth boater mentioned that he gets a "tamarack scum" on his hull every time he leaves the St. Croix River. I'm not sure what that term means. 4). The sixth boater (powerboat) asked where to discard the plants/weeds that he pulled from his boat. I said in the trash, however, there aren't any trash bins at the Bayfield landing. Question: Does the city clean up the weeds/debris at the landing ramp and near the power wash station? 5). Question: Are weeds more likely to attach to trailers with rollers or trailers with boards? Does it make any difference regardless? 6). The 10th boater had a Craig Cat: a small, pontoon, catamaran-like boat. It was similar to a small, two-person paddle boat that you can rent by the hour to paddle around on a small inland lake. 7). The 12th boater is active and a member of the Iron River Lake Association. He said that the association had gotten a handle on Eurasian Water Milfoil on the Pike Chain of Lakes in Price County, Wisconsin, until this spring, which was warm, and caused it to thrive again. 8). One boater suggested a valet service at the busiest landings. How it be administered, and by whom? 9). The 32nd boater has recently been boating in the open pit mines in Minnesota. He said that they are crystal clear. Question: Would the mines ever have the threat of invasive species? 10). The 36th boater (sailboat) was recently on Lake Harriet in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. He said that it was very clean - thanks to CBCW crew.00000000000000000000

The ninth boater (powerboat) works in the marine industry on Lake Michigan. He occasionally scuba dives the shipwrecks on Lake Michigan, and said zebra mussels have pretty much ruined the dive sites. 2). The 14th boater (powerboat) mentioned that she is a CBCW inspector in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. She does the inspections through the Rhinelander Chain of Lakes Association. She said that the chain of lakes don't have Eurasian Water Milfoil (and for the most part is clean), but does have rusty crayfish. 3). The 14th boater also suggested that there should be more power wash stations at landings. She suggested using a pumping system that recycles water from the waterbody itself. 1).

The first boater (powerboat) suggested that either each landing have an extended pincher to grab weeds from under the boat and/or trailer or have the interns/staffers on site be equipped with them. 1). The first boater (powerboat) suggested that each landing have an extended pincher to grab weeds from far under the boat and trailer and/or have the interns/staffers be equipped with them. 2). The second boater (powerboat) said that he was on Lake Mendota in Madison recently. He said that the lake is infested with spiny water fleas. 3). The fifth boater (sailboat) said that he was on Lake Pepin in Minnesota a few years ago and had zebra mussels attached to the interior of his swing keel and keel box. He said that there was an AIS inspector on site, but they missed the mussels because they were hidden. 4). The fifth boater also said that a copper-painted hull repels zebra mussels.00000000000000000000

The second boater (powerboat) was in the St. Croix River near Hastings, Minnesota, one week ago. He said many agencies were there doing AIS inspections: DNR, sheriff's office, etc. He said that there were even sniffing dogs. 2). The fifth boater lives near and spends time on Birch Lake in Vilas County near Minocqua, Wisconsin. He said that he remembers many years ago when there were a few rusty crayfish, and now they are so numerous that they dominate the lake ecology. He also said that the local lake association is using alfalfa to encourage native vegetation to take control. Apparently, when alfalfa decomposes, it provides nutrients for natural vegetation to grow. 3). The eighth boater was a large (long), 30+ foot, powerboat that tried unsuccessfully to power launch his boat on to his trailer. He had a powerful inboard/outboard that completely stirred up the lake bottom at the landing. (It was terrible in regards to preventing the spread of invasive plants.) 4). One boater suggested putting steps on the landing dock, so boaters could step over the high sides of the boats. It is probably a tripping hazard though for most landing docks.00000000000000000000

The second boater mentioned that her son does CBCW inspections in Alexandria, Minnesota. 2). The ninth boater(s) were researchers with the University of Minnesota. They were in Bayfield to launch and travel around the Apostle Islands to evaluate the health of wetlands. It's part of a multi-state and multi-agency effort throughout the Great Lakes to determine the percentage of wetlands and their health. (See handout.)00000000000000000000

The ninth boater (powerboat) said that people were hollering at him as he was driving down Main Street in Washburn the other day. They were telling him to pull out his plug. This is a good sign that the law is recognized and well-known already. 2). The 13th boater was in Sturgeon Bay on Lake Michigan recently. He said that the zebra mussels are layers thick there.00000000000000000000
119347952Adam Haecker7/25/2015 8:30 AM7/25/2015 5:30 PM909Lake Superior -- Bayfield City Boat Launch10019622Bayfield173812200020193170007/27/20151). The fifth boater (powerboat) mentioned several things. a). that he caught lake trout that had small, off-white, spider-like insects on them. He said that he caught them off of Sand Island and Devil's Island in the Apostle Islands. He also said that the fish looked sick, and had a limp tail. b). The fifth boater also said that he saw immature zebra mussels attached to rocks and other hard surfaces at Presque Isle Bay on Stockton Island. He said that the bay is well-protected and conducive to zebra mussels. c). The fifth boater also said that his son has caught round goby in the Bayfield Harbor where the public landing is located. d). The fifth boater also mentioned that he caught lake trout that were spawning (with spawn?) in July. Unusual for this time of year. 2). The ninth boater (powerboat) has recently participated in the "Paddle the Pearls" in Chequamegon Bay (a volunteer event to help monitor for invasive species). 3). The 12th boater (powerboat) said that they volunteer to hand pull Eurasian Water Milfoil from the Pike Chain of Lakes.00000000000000000000

The second boater asked about the law of keeping the plug in. He was confused because the law is different in Wisconsin than it is in Minnesota. 2). The fifth boater (fisherman) was on Wapogasset Lake within the past five days. He said that there was no CBCW boat inspector or DNR warden present when he was there.00000000000000000000

The first boater (powerboat) just came from Lake Michigan and the Illinois River. He said that if you fall overboard in the Illinois River you run the risk of being electrocuted from the electric fences set up to control Asian Carp. He said that it makes it hard for the Coast Guard to rescue boaters who fall into the water. 2). The second boater (powerboat) typically boats on Lake Winnebago (near Oshkosh). He said that the beaches there are littered with zebra mussels. 3). The seventh boater (jetskis) mentioned that jetskiers get a bad wrap, even though they are as environmentally conscious and compliant as other boaters. He said that jetskis are only allowed around Madeline Island in the Apostle Islands, but not the rest of the Apostle Islands. (I imagine this is because the rest of the islands are part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, and therefore are under certain noise and recreational restrictions.)00000000000000000000

The second boater and third boater (powerboats) both recently were on Upper Eau Claire Lake, Wisconsin. They commented on how clean the water is there. 2). The fifth boater (powerboat) has property on Sioux Lake in Price County. He said property owners are taking matters into their own hands, and pulling weeds along the lakeshore directly in front of their properties. He said that it's all you can do. 3). The 10th boater (dinghy) said that aquatic invasive species enforcement in La Crosse, Wisconsin, is pretty strict. He said that the DNR staff are always standing by to make sure boaters drain everything. Otherwise, they ticket boaters. He said that three rivers converge in La Crosse (Mississippi, Black and ?), and thus the reason for strict enforcement.00000000000000000000
118932292Adam Haecker7/3/2015 8:00 AM7/3/2015 5:30 PM9.509.5Lake Superior -- Bayfield City Boat Launch10019622Bayfield174516210417675133007/06/20151). The fourth boater mentioned that he is active in Florida with the Clean Marinas Program. He said that the lionfish is invasive in similar ways to our Asian Carp. Like here in the Midwest, Florida is trying to make lionfish a popular item on menus. 2). The fifth boater recently was on Island Lake north of Duluth about 15 minutes. He said that he didn't pull any invasive species from Island Lake, but did pull some zebra mussels from the Duluth/Superior harbor a couple of years ago when his boat was docked in the harbor for three days. He also worked for a netting company that focused on zebra mussels. 3). The seventh boater (powerboat) was recently in North Center Lake in Chisago County, Minnesota. She said that there was a DNR staffer present, who inspected her boat, and pulled some weeds. She also said that they found a small snail attached to a bumper in the Apostle Islands Marina in Bayfield recently (not sure if invasive). 4). The 12th boater (powerboat) mentioned that his son is part of the CBCW crew in Osceola, Wisconsin.00000000000000000000
118803696Adam Haecker6/28/2015 8:00 AM6/28/2015 6:00 PM10010Lake Superior -- Bayfield City Boat Launch10019622Bayfield84481204827282006/29/20151). The first boater (powerboat) said that she worked for CBCW for the WDNR about 10 years ago. She worked in southwest Wisconsin, and said she found many zebra mussels back then. 2). The third boater (fishermen) said that spiny water fleas are thick (several blocks long) on the west side of Madeline Island in the Apostle Islands. They said that they were fishing in about 20 feet of water when they snagged them. I took samples from their downriggers. They said that they clog the fishing lines. 3). The third boater also said that he's noticed spiny water fleas throughout the Apostle Islands, particularly south of Long Island. (He trolls in less than 30 feet of water.) 4). The fourth boater said that he noticed two, worm-like insects that were cream-colored, and about one-inch long on a lake trout that he caught off of Sand Island. He wasn't sure what it was, but wonders if it is immature sea lamprey. The fish looked unhealthy too with bulgy eyes and a limp tail. 5). The fourth boater also asked if we can install a sign at the power wash state that states "Washing area only. Please do not park here." 6). The tenth boater (sailboat) just came from Pelican Lake in Otter Tail County, Minnesota. There was a local DNR staff person there to power-wash his boat at more than 180 degrees F.00000000000000000000
118803613Adam Haecker6/27/2015 1:30 PM6/27/2015 7:30 PM606Lake Superior -- Bayfield City Boat Launch10019622Bayfield610412160214353121006/29/20151). The first boater (fisherman) asked whether it is a state law in Wisconsin to drive without a boat plug installed? He claims that it is the law in Minnesota. 2). The second boater (powerboat) didn't want anything to do with me. I wondered if it was my approach, but also realized that he had a go-fast (aka cigarette) boat. I also wondered whether there is a trend with boaters that the faster, more "need for speed" boaters has less conscience for the environment. 3). The third boater said that she saw a strand of Eurasian Water Milfoil (she thinks) near the campground at Oak Island in the Apostle Islands. She said that there was no other evidence of plant life around. She said the bottom was sandy otherwise. 4). The eighth boater (jetski) was in Webb Lake in Burnett County, Wisconsin, in the past five days. The boater said that it was a private landing, and that no boat inspector was present. 5). I found my first sample of Eurasian Water Milfoil (I think) today. I bagged it, and showed it to my direct supervisors, Pam Roberts, NCWMA, and Andy Teal, Bayfield County AIS Coordinator, on June 29.00000000000000000000

The sixth boater that I talked to said that the south end of Chequamegon Bay is full of Eurasian Water Milfoil. (He lives on the lake in Ashland.) 2). The sixth boater also said that he thinks that strictly inboard motors are more susceptible to zebra mussel infestation because they get fully in to the engine block. He said he knows of an acid treatment to get rid of them. 3). The 11th boater (powerboat/fisherman) said that he has been in the inter-coastal waterways in Florida recently, and said that the state of Florida has a great CBCW program. (He wasn't aware of which AIS are prevalent there, but lauded the program.) 4). The 12th boater (fisherman) said that he has fished on Mud Hen Lake near the town of Siren, where there is a camera installed to catch violators. Any boater that's videotaped leaving the lake with weeds attached is mailed a violation ticket. The camera is installed adjacent to the landing dock.00000000000000000000

The last boater of the day said/suggested that they put the wash station in earlier in the season. (It's only been installed for one and half weeks, as of June 7.)00000000000000000000

The third boater of the day that I talked to said that he has seen some deformed fish in the Duluth/Superior harbor (possibly VHS?). Also said that he's concerned about the snake fish entering Lake Superior. (Already in St. Croix River?) 2). The third boater also mentioned that he understands that there might be a new law that makes it mandatory to keep your boat out of the water for three days in between water bodies. 3). The fourth boater that I talked to today (sailboat) said that he has an antifol (foliage?) application on his hull, which prevents scum growth and other bacteria from adhering. He wondered if this should be a standard application for all boats. Would it deter or prevent invasive species from attaching?00000000000000000000

First boater (angler) of the day said that he snagged zebra mussels in Kakagon Sloughs in 6-8 feet of water (didn't mention date). 2). Talked to a Scott and Justin in the local Bayfield DNR office. They mentioned that Cornucopia and Barks Bay should get some AIS CBCW coverage too, although Bayfield launch is busiest. 3). DNR office also said that it's early in the season (and shouldn't expect to find much growth until a little later in the summer). 4). DNR office said zebra mussels have been in Lake Superior for 20 years or so. Quaggma mussels pose more of a long-term threat, however.00000000000000000000

One fisherman commented that zebra mussels are rampant in Lake Michigan. He thinks that salmon in Lake Superior are unable to eat zooplankton because of zebra mussels, and biologists want it that way. (They want to see an increase in the number of lake trout.) 3). One boater mentioned that he knew of the first "saltie" that was ultimately responsible for the spread of AIS today. (The year was 1965.) General observations at Bayfield landing: 1). No trash can(s) or compost bins(s). 2). Several boaters complained about high ramp fee ($12), compared to $5-6 at other launch sites. 3). AIS prevention signs facing launching ramp. Should there be other signs facing docking area? 4). I had one boat (the same boat) both enter and leave the same ramp. Do we need to survey at "put in" and "take out" for the same boat? If so, can we add a checkbox for that?00000000000000000000
