Yes, fish alone. Please. I want to keep fishing with my wife and kids through this. If you fish with buddies, we are screwed. But I've already talked to people that are planning to be selfish.



Most of you saw Fisherman Magazine Video Magazine. Editor almost begging people to fish alone so the hobby stays open in limited fashion.

So your saying I can’t fish my personal 32 ft boat with two guys? I have a ten foot beam and 32 feet of boat. The rule states 6 ft apart correct?

Rule also says immediate family or household only .

So you can fish with your wife

Anyone willing to adopt me so I can become an immediate family member of someone's household!

(All joking asides, this sucks for those of us that don't own their own boat).

All ready know guys readily ignoring and posting pictures and videos. Oh yeah, we won't last if the pandemic continues with length.....

Question: How do you judge those who ignore new rules? Do you see them and say it's there business, no judgement OR do you look at them as affecting the fishing community and might shut us down and/or spread virusd - thus see them as totally selfish?

Will you need to prove your kids live with you? On the Chesapeake bay you can't fish recreationally.You can only fish to feed your family.

Left Atlantic at 4 pm and there were 6 jet skis loading on the trailer. Few guys and gals in wetsuits breaking down right into their bathing suits on the asphalt on top of the ramp bud lights in hand. Stupidity is going to fing ruin it for all the responsible people during this horrible situation. And yes 30 mph wind and in the 40s with a bunch of Dipsh*ts acting like a normal July weekend. Should be boat owners in the marina only or we will be in NYs shoes very soon. NO Recreational Boating in article 13 of the last Executive Order!!!

You're right....some idiots are going to mess it up for the responsible ones.

I’m obviously down here in sunny Florida. I took my wife and daughter out on the St. John’s river within our social distancing rules.

It was nice to get out on the river. Saw eagles and gators. Haven’t worked in three weeks so nice to be on the water on my boat instead of the airboats.

Stay safe my friends
