Unseasonably mild temperatures have left some portions of the Missouri River System with open water, and some anglers have been taking advantage by wetting a line from a boat. With that in mind, boat owners are reminded that 2008 is the first year of the new three-year registration period.
The new registration period began Jan. 1, 2008, and runs through Dec. 31, 2010. All boat registrations with a green decal expired Dec. 31, 2007.<br />
Boat registration renewal notices were mailed out in December. In addition, boat registrations can be renewed online at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov, by accessing the online services link, and "watercraft registration and renewals" under the watercraft heading.<br />
Also, anyone buying a new or used watercraft can register online and generate a 10-day temporary permit that is valid until the registration is processed.<br />
Boat owners who did not receive a renewal notice should contact the Game and Fish Department at 701-328-6335. Many renewals are being returned because owners who moved within the last three years did not notify the department with their new address.
