First off, WELCOME aboard! Great to see more anglers from the NE here. Our Governor has our state locked down tight due to the virus (supposedly). Walt & I only got out one time this season so far. I'm about at the end of my rope! LOL!

The boat trailers have to be licensed every year. These are big $ generators for the state. At the boat launch ramps the have gates that ore locked and access is denied till the virus problem is solved.

Don't want to get into politics but fishing is one of the best things to do to social distance. I am sorry to hear that but at the same time not too surprised. We are trying to get things back to normal in our state but dealing with many of the same issues in local government. We can go to a campground but can pile 1000 people in a Walmart Parking lot. Doesn't make sense to me. They would probably have to impound my boat to keep me from fishing. But then I would just pound the banks. LOL
