Hope are all well today, stay strong.
No JB - by my logic - if people could go from home to the launch, go out fish, return to launch and go home - I see NO ISSUE with that and far less concerning than what we see happening in grocery stores, Wal Marts, Costco and the like. The issue is LOTS of people won't do this or don't think they need to do this. They would end up with multiple stops, not social distancing, and coming from who knows where with who knows what POTENTIALLY putting others at risk. Small communities that don't normally have traffic and perhaps small health care facilities don't need to be overwhelmed with cases because somebody wanted to go fishing. I say OPEN the launches - make them contact free operating facilities - let people fish - and if you get caught anywhere not abiding by social distancing requirements - throw a hefty fine at the individual - $5,000 or so. Law abiding individuals such as yourself and me shouldn't care how big the fine is because we aren't going to do what we shouldn't do.........right?By your logic everything should be shut then . Dog walking. Bike riding . Motorcycle excursions . Everything. Rules and guidelines are in place for a reason. Same as everywhere. Respect them or get fined. Your government said yesterday this is acceptable.
So again your logic is some fisherman have no self control and because they may stop somewhere on the way home that they wreck it for everyone,. At the same time the people goimg to the dollar store .. goimg out for a stroll ,taking their dog for a walk, using same cross walk buttons, have more self control and they have little to no chance of seeing someone or running into situations that they just cant help themselves .. point is LOTS of people will do this regardless of what they are doing ...doesnt make a difference if they fish or ride a bike...if you have read any of the above you should know others have been asking for common sense keep your distance be responsible and guess what you can still fish. Your logic is and was some csnt help themselves so let's ban it all together... ..ok let's ban outdoor activities then.. they potentially could be putting others at risk... no more dog walking!!No JB - by my logic - if people could go from home to the launch, go out fish, return to launch and go home - I see NO ISSUE with that and far less concerning than what we see happening in grocery stores, Wal Marts, Costco and the like.

Rastam4n ; How do you know if I actually signed that petition ? No where did I state that I did. I at least read it through to understand their viewpoint and not make assumptions.
Exactly, this is a debate..........one for the history books. And remember sooner or later, we will allowed back outside to meet our fellow members on a river bank....Oh relax. It’s mostly just ribbing. I know we are on opposing sides if this debate and I used the opportunity.
My apologies if I offended you.
Sitting on the pier is not the same as launching a boat. Just like stopping at a red light while driving isn’t the same as parking .
Sorry the needs of the many out way the needs of the few. Fishing and boat launching aside there is 37 million people in this country . It’s unfortunate a tiny amount of mostly elderly have died but maybe quarantine high risk and let the rest of us get back to living life or we will all be broke. P.S I’m not lucky I’ve worked my dick off to have what I do. Sorry that offends you . Also you use question marks incorrectly .
