aarchdale@coresleep.com Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 I get gas at the pump tow the boat to the lake and have not contact with anyone all day. But yet i had to make a grocery run to walmart yesterday in Ozark. It was about the busiest i have ever seen it. And the idiots put caution tape up around all the entrances except one, now everyone is forced to funnel past each other out of one set of doors. snagged in outlet 3, magicwormman and dtrs5kprs 3
mixermarkb Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 I doubt the iron county order would hold up in court as well, but I think the reason they made it so tough was a reaction to the crowds at Elephant Rocks. I guess folks were packed into there like sardines, using the shelters and Bbq pits in large groups, etc etc. I don't blame them a bit for trying to squash that. I still plan on making solo trips to the lake, avoiding humans, bringing my own food and drink, and paying for fuel at the pump. I'm taking the stay at home order seriously, but I don't see how fishing a couple times in the next few weeks isn't isolation. I can do it without interacting with another human all day. As a matter of fact, I kinda prefer it that way anyhow... snagged in outlet 3, Champ188 and magicwormman 3

Walmart is going to be limiting the number of people in their stores, with a one out, one in policy once the limit is reached. I think the tape and cones is part of the setting up for that.
techo Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 State order is you have to go outdoors....so fishing is required and essential....state law, swear it is! snagged in outlet 3 and magicwormman 2 Tim Carpenter
Members Ranger Dave Posted April 4, 2020 Members Posted April 4, 2020 The problem is they are shutting down many of the boat ramps. The ramp below Warsaw Dam (Bledsoe Ferry) has been closed for a couple of weeks. Last night they closed Drake Harbor ramp in Warsaw. I suspect many other boat ramps will soon be closed. mixermarkb and techo 1 1
Quillback Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Might be time to send some emails to local politicians and the governor. No need for a fishing ban. I imagine most pols are not serious fishermen if they go at all, and they probably have an image of opening day at a trout park as to what fishing is. dtrs5kprs and mixermarkb 1 1
mixermarkb Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 No reason at all to close ramps, though it wouldn't surprise me if the COE started doing it as well. You would think someone would co-ordinate this though, because the Missouri Department of Conservation is promoting fishing as social distancing, and has even suspended the need for fishing permits. snagged in outlet 3 and magicwormman 2
top_dollar Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 Sounds like you boys need to learn how to bank fish. snagged in outlet 3 1
Members fullmoon Posted April 4, 2020 Members Posted April 4, 2020 I have a friend staying at my trailer and am coming down to fish together for a few days. Does that seem like a problem? we re in the same trailer.
