Ok guys and Gals, haven't been fishing in almost 2 years due to some deaths in my and my wifes family plus some other things
Anyway was planning on taking my boat out this Sat and I know prices have gone up and now that I just turned 65 last month I was wondering what is the cost to launch a boat and fish now.

Thanks in advance

I believe for the last 2 tournaments in SD, they charged us $33 or something for launch, park and 2 fishing passes.

They do have senior rates available, which should lower the price.

Here is just some senior info:
Used to be $4 for a senior permit and $2 to launch a kayak. For a boat it was $4 for a senior permit and $7 to launch which was $11.
It was wonderful for a couple years and then they raised it a ew years ago so if you are a senior and need a permit and fish out of a
kayak it is $11 and if you get a a senior permit and boat launch it is $17. Still not too bad, but liked it much more when it was cheaper.

All ages have been phased in now requiring the Boating Safety Course, so be sure to have proof with you.
