Thread: Fishing during "shelter in place"

Go fishing, corps ramps are open. Asking questions galore attracts attention to things you don't want attention on. Outside activities are fine just don't have a bbq in the ramp lot or stand around in groups socializing. Shelter doesn't mean lockdown as far as I'm concerned. Be smart about it go fishing alone or with somebody you live with. The point is not to spread anything, or bringing something home to a family member especially older and more vulnerable ones. There is risk but my job is on the essential list so I'm out among more people during the week now then on the weekends. If you go fishing my suggestion would be to take your trash home and don't make a mess. If trash starts overflowing and garbage is all over they are gonna shut it all down.

Looking like a large spawn this year with nobody putting them in grease.

So sad that the state is unable to make common sense decisions. They shut down fishing where I cant think of a better place to practice "social distancing" yet people can still go to walmart and wrestle for charmin.

That is why I like to fish private water sometimes. In situations like this I have alternatives that allow me some quiet time with the fish.

I'm going to drop a few from this morning in the frier. Wife and I fished from shore. Several others out but nobody crowding anyone else. Was a little wierd. Nobody more than nodding at others to acknowledge. Nobody even offering to talk to those outside their group. Kept 13 about 4 ft down near shore on minnows tipped with crappie nibs.

Interesting since state parks are supposedly closed along with fish and wildlife areas.
