UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER/ILLINOIS WATERWAY - SAFETY ZONE - UPDATE

Zone 28 (Mile 185.4 – Mile 109.9). A Safety Zone has been established in St. Louis Harbor between Mile 184.0 and 179.0. Southbound tows greater than 600 feet in length, excluding the towboat, should limit their transit to daylight hours and should have a minimum of 250-horsepower for each loaded barge. Northbound tows must have enough horsepower to maintain a speed of 3-mph, while transiting through all St. Louis Harbor Bridges. All towing vessels are prohibited from carrying barges on the hip. Assess bridge clearance well in advance, pre-identify lay-up areas in the event of a river closure. The COTP recommends that towing vessels have a pilot onboard with experience in high water, similar size tows and all St. Louis Bridges. Recreational traffic is prohibited from transiting within this zone. Towboat operators should be experienced in high water operations and should proceed at their slowest safe operating speed based upon prevailing conditions in order to minimize wake damage. Towboats are prohibited from laying up on levees. For additional information, please see the Local Notice To Mariners below:

Damage in the Lincoln Shields Recreation Area in West Alton from the recent flooding along the Mississippi River may affect Alton's July 3rd fireworks display.  Angie Smith, of Alton's National Great Rivers Museum stated that the property will need to be assessed, and then a plan to move forward will be put together.  The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will have to determine if the site just gets fill, or fill and pavement........

  Illinois Boating Legislation

     Tougher Boating Laws May Be Coming........

 

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn is considering signing a bill that would grant the authorities the right to suspend a boater's driver's license if they're caught boating under the influence of drugs or alcohol.  A first time offender that declines to take a sobriety test may lose their license for a year.  A first time offender that fails a sobriety test would only lose their license for six months.  The Governor only has until the end of July to sign the bill........

  HIGH WATER SALE
Unfortunately, it appears we won’t be getting that dry spring that was anticipated. Instead, we have received more rain than we need. This has put a damper on an early season boating, but there is a “silver lining” to this delay.


During this high water, Bloch Marine Service remains operational at its Polestar Marina and Yacht Club of Saint Louis locations, and continues to have service capabilities at our Harbor Point location and other marinas such as Alton Marina and Grafton Harbor. In an effort to save you precious boating time when the water goes down, and to save you money, Bloch Marine is offering “high water” discounts as follows

 

- If it if feasible to get to your boat, and a pullout is required for the work you request, the pullout portion of your service bill will be at no charge. This includes a credit of $6.00/per foot on our bottom paint special package. (Boats weighing 30 tons or less/fiberglass and aluminum only.)

- We will also apply a 10% discount to labor (excluding bottom paint special labor).

 

These discounts will apply if the work is ordered by you when the water level at the Grafton gauge is above 22.0 feet during this current high water event.


We know the high water is discouraging, but it won’t last forever, and this is an opportunity for you to take advantage of an otherwise unfortunate situation.


Give us a call today and schedule that work you have been putting off, and you can save on downtime and money!

   Frog Days of Summer Begin June 30th
 

 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Celebrate summer with a favorite outdoor pastime for many Missourians -- frogging season. It begins at sunset on June 30 and ends Oct. 31.

Frogging can be practiced with either a fishing permit or a hunting permit. The Wildlife Code of Missouri allows those with a fishing permit to take frogs by hand, hand net, atlatl, gig, bow, trotline, throw line, limb line, bank line, jug line, snagging, snaring, grabbing or pole and line. With a hunting permit, frogs may be harvested using a .22-caliber or smaller rifle or pistol, pellet gun, atlatl, bow, crossbow, or by hand or hand net. The use of an artificial light is permitted when frogging.

Children under the age of 16 and Missouri residents over the age of 65 are not required to have a permit.

Missouri has two frog species that are legal game — bullfrog and green frog. Bullfrogs are larger and therefore more sought-after, but the legs of both species are delicious. The taste and texture of frog meat is similar to that of fresh-water fish.

The daily limit is eight frogs of both species combined. Catch eight frogs before midnight, and start frogging again at 12:01 a.m. to catch another day’s limit. However, it is not legal to possess more than one day’s limit while on the water and banks where daily limits apply. The possession limit allows you to store no more than 16 frogs at a time.

Once a frog is speared, it must be harvested. The Wildlife Code of Missouri prohibits the release of a speared frog as “wanton waste” because the animal is not likely to recover. Any frog taken into actual possession, unless immediately released unharmed after being caught, is included in the daily limit.

For more information on frogging, including methods, conservation areas to hunt them, recipes, and regulations, go online to mdc.mo.gov/node/15122

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

US Coast Guard Auxiliary Safe Boating Class Schedule Change

Flotilla 3-13 of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary will be offering the “About Boating Safety” course at Grafton City Hall in June. The course runs on 2 consecutive Saturdays from 9:00 AM till 1:00 PM. We regret to announce that due to flooding conditions, the previously scheduled May 4 and May 11 class must be cancelled. We encourage interested parties to register as soon as possible for the June classes to be held June 22 and June 29.

Course Preregistration is necessary. Sign up or for more information by dropping by Grafton Harbor, or calling Jan at 618-786-7678 or by contacting Mark at msz@charter.net or cell phone number 314-515-4280.

Boater Education Saves Lives

Missouri’s Mandatory Boater Education Law requires that every Missouri resident born after January 1, 1984 who operates a vessel on Missouri lakes must carry a boating safety identification card issued by the State Water Patrol and a valid photo ID. This includes personal watercraft like Jet-Skis. The Boating Safety ID Card indicates successful completion of a boating safety education course. Illinois and many other states have similar requirements.

Successful completion of this course will not only earn the Boating Safety ID Card, but will also give you invaluable information which will help you to remain safe on the water. Whether you are required by law to take the course or not, Boating Safety Education will help you be a better, safer boater. Insurers recognize this and most offer a discount on your insurance for completing the course.

To learn more about boater education, Vessel Safety Checks and other services provided by the Coast Guard Auxiliary – or if you are interested in learning how to become one of us – please visit us online at www.uscgauxflotilla3-13.org or contact us at msz@charter.net
