Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But teach a man how to fish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years.

Our Very own Capt Dave (Sealife) Is an Instructor.  I took his course last year..  Not sure where you live but here are his classes in Ewing.

If you are too far from Captain Dave you can call the CG auxiliary and they can hook you up with a class. Cost is around $50.

Remember--- Boating Safety Certificate and Boat License are two different things here in NJ-- both vying for your money. If you fish or operate on tidal waters only, you DO NOT need the Boat License which is an endorsement on your DMV Auto Drivers License just like Motorcycle or CDL or Articulated. You will need the Safety certificate, which is handled by the NJSP, either way. I personally think they need another agency involved also-- as I have some more extra time and cash to throw away. The current multi agency system is too simple and user friendly to actually be workable here in NJ.   5hrug
