I'm sure the crazies showed up at full force again at Farrington... acting generally the same way they did last weekend. I spoke to one of the US Army Corps guys stationed at Jordan Dam by phone shortly after they closed the parks and all of those boat ramps and stated in no uncertain terms that he completely expected them to close those remaining two boat ramps on Jordan because he didn't expect any change this weekend with regards to public compliance with the Governor's Order. I have a big problem with it when responsible fisherman and and other boaters get cut off because of the noncompliance of a relatively low percentage of idiots.

I'm not sure what this is about. Farrington access was open at 2 pm yesterday when I left. The lot was pretty full but still had parking spaces available. NCWRC website does not show Farrington on the closure list this morning. Anybody know if it has been closed overnight?

I wonder if the same lack of access from inland out of towners would work to help build any of the coastal fish populations during their peak times ex spec trout\fall. Just have to figure in radius\miles what constitutes an out of townerOriginally Posted by Big Crappie 2

Big ocean!!!!! 4or 5 toons came in from the northern part of the state and stayed all weekend. They were catching and cleaning everything they caught and packing all their coolers. I think the wardens ended up fining all of the guys, in saying that, I'm sure this was going on before the lake closure! Just like someone talking about the boat tied up at Harris,it happens. Jmo

Update: Just called the wildlife folks for verification about Farrington boat ramp. The lady I talked to on the phone told me that no wildlife ramps on Jordan were closed or planned to be closed at the moment.

Ok, I did have to confirm for myself. Farrington is open. And a zoo. All of the trailer spots were full and there were people parking in the grass. I sat in the car for a few minutes and watched some bikinis unpack their car... don’t know if I’d feel very good about launching or recovering with that many people crowding the place.
Why is Farrington open with the rest of the lake closed? Is this ramp managed by a separate entity? I don’t really understand why one government organization would leave ramps open and another shuts them down.... seems like that only causes confusion and herds more people into tighter spaces (defeating the purpose of the closers in the first place).
