Pretty sure they are gonna get sued over that. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.

Johnsfolly Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 Soon after the COVID-19 was being called a pandemic, NC closed the bridges to the outer banks to any nonresident. That killed some of my early beach fishing thoughts . Delaware over the last couple of weeks are stopping folks crossing the border and forcing them to a 14-day stay in DE if you have reason to be there. If not they turn you away. They are checking license plates in public parking lots. At first they closed all of the beaches and inlets (dashed my fishing) , then opened the inlets (hope for fishing) , then shut down the borders (dashed again) ! Anyway good luck on your float trip! Glad that you were able to make a call as to where you were going to fish.

Police the ramps and access point and enforce social distancing at the ramp etc.... I really dont get the blanket outdoors shutdown without some realistic forethought.. LEO .....See a booze cruse/party Barge ready to set sail,..... give'em hell..... Sucks you cant get out there... Kudos for my favorite emojis on the forum...well done!
tjm Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 Closures are pretty simple, no gathering place = no crowd, policing an entry point is easier than policing miles of beach shores lake park whatever and by not policing the crowds you don't expose your police to as many carriers. It's not much fun for those who like to be in a crowd or those who seek to be alone in a place that has crowd potential, but I can see the economic and police safety considerations, think of two or three shifts of two police at each boat ramp and car park dedicated to enforcing a suggestion (not a code) of social distance; how many additional personnel would be needed and what amount of over time pay could they rack up over the next 3-6 months? Since 6' is just a suggestion what punishment to those that don't comply? what about the ones that are 5'8" apart, who measures? Nightmare to enforce any kind of social distancing, but real simple to enfoce "Don't be Here". I'm really surprised state borders weren't closed universally to nonessential traffic, and weeks ago. I guess the Feds could have curtailed Interstate Highway traffic at the same time they did the air travel and probably have reduced or slowed the spread of disease. Didn't Mardi Gras draw people from all over to get the virus and take it home with them? I guess they knew that and chose to allow the spread of the virus, perhaps to sooner hit peak and/or to inoculate by infection greater numbers. The people in charge may not have good plan but it is a sure thing they have some kind of plan and we are not apt to ever see it. N9BOW and Daryk Campbell Sr 1 1

There should be a pass/leniency for folks that love the outdoors and are compliant... Those who just want some fresh air.. Are being responsible = (mask) ... Crap my boat is 21 foot.. I would limit my outings to 1 friend so we could social distance.. (Bow-Stern) drink a beer and fish....
tjm Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 I don't disagree with that notion, but it would still require added enforcement resources. Have to set up a special agency just to determine who gets a pass. We the taxpayers don't like funding added resources. Daryk Campbell Sr 1
