Re: Statewide fishing closure
If they impose these restrictions; do we get reimbursed for our fishing license?? I think I know the answer, however if we are not allowed to fish by the State Government we should be compensated.

Heard it from the friend of a friend that heard it from "they?"
Re: Statewide fishing closure
Had a 2 fish challenge this weekend with a few buddies. We all went out solo or fished with son. I saw multiple boats with 2-4 fisherman. Not obeying the guidelines. How do you even get to the lake 2 per truck? Pisses me off. This is why they may close this down.
Sheriff/warden could start ticketing 2+ per boat
also, alot of people eat fish. Cant believe they can or should keep people from catching dinner.
I am respectful of what the intent of the laws are. Closing fishing is not the answer.

Can’t believe it? You must be new to Ca. Or young. Not insulting but if you have been around for 50 years this comes as no surprise at all
More expected

Re: Statewide fishing closure
Is it a fishing ban or boating ban?
Re: Statewide fishing closure
I'll wait until actual guidelines are passed/updated before I get pissed about a statewide fishing closure. It's too easy to cry over unspilled milk.
But what's been bothering me in general is that laws are not getting enforced in the first place, so the regulations have no teeth. Instead of of enforcing the rules (and sending a message to other rule-breakers to stop doing it), restrictions are just escalated, punishing the people who were following everything in the first place. "Too many people went to the beach without social distancing, so we're closing all beaches!" "Did you hand out tickets to punish the irresponsible people, without hurting the ones acting responsibly?" "Uhm, no." Repeat for trails, parks etc. Maybe at some point we can actually enforce the existing rules instead of displaying this "Well, whatcha gonna do? Let's just lock it all down" attitude. I believe that the distancing rules are fundamentally sound and needed and working (we can see them working in CA's death-per-1-million-citizens stat, which is way lower than in other places). But ruining it for everybody because a group of people are not following the order is terrible.

Re: Statewide fishing closure
Well, they closed all the ramps at Lake Powell so nothing surprises me. In Arizona all of our ramps are staying open so far. I have a non refundable house rented in Page for May 8th so hope the hysteria is over by then. My buddy from Oregon is coming down for that trip and he says all public and private boat ramps are closed and no guiding is allowed. Crazy times.
Re: Statewide fishing closure
This is really getting uncomfortable, not the fact that some lakes are closing but the fact the it has been waaay to easy for the "state" take away our personal rights guaranteed by the Constitution. It just seems everyone is "OK" with the "its for our own good" excuse.J Gondal wrote:What are ya worried about. This is for our own good. Remember? We should not be allowed to think for ourselves.

Re: Statewide fishing closure

Re: Statewide fishing closure
UPDATE:
The scheduled meeting for today was pushed back to "mid-week", and it was confirmed that the main concern is the coming trout opener, and boats with more than 1-2 people per vessel all over the local lakes.
If you go out fellas you may wanna consider that.
Stay tuned as they say!

Re: Statewide fishing closure
When I fished the bank the other day I felt like a refugee. That ain’t right. I pay my taxes and work for an essential business, helping fund this mess in some way. I’m cool with the one man one boat or one car for fishing. Even if it’s a +1 it’s probably a family member as in my case. You can’t keep people away from family. That said I’ll probably stay away from jitterbug for next 3 weeks. Which are projected to be the spike in cases in California. Guess we should of had some kind of B A S S union setup to better protect or fishing rights. The funny thing is I see people doing YouTube sing alongs with their guitars not practicing social distancing(which I call “diplomatic discipline”tm, don’t like that social word) why don’t they take their guitars away or better yet smash em like a rock star, bet they would love that.
