That sounds like an invitation to hell. Don't these politicians realize that people don't listen to social distancing guidelines. Wisconsin is telling people to flock to these boat launches, not to mention bait stores, people are not going to stay 6 feet apart in a boat, not happening. Do people think all the fish will be gone if they don't get out and catch them now, in the middle of this crisis. I'm sorry, I don't get it. Wisconsin must have unlimited hospitals and supplies, they will need them !!!

Im on the fence about launches, but yet again I'm a mild germaphobe anyway.
I don't believe its a huge source of transfer but I wont knock anyone from avoiding them.
Again...stay apart and sanitize as much as possible after contact anything outside your personal space.

How many guys fishing have the support of there wife an kids. If you do that tells me your family doesn’t care about your health.

That's not necessarily true at all. Lots of wives dont want their husbands going fishing regardless of what is going on in the world.

I don't have the support really but they know too well how I become if trapped in the house... I'm not going to a launch, I'm hitting spots with me, by myself.. I'm being as cautious as I can get not total self qaurenteed.... It is spring time after all !!

Just remember that fish you catch today might be your last no mater how careful you are I will wait till the middle of the month when the river is on fire an safe again. Just remember it attacks your lungs the hospital are full.

Do you truly believe middle of the month? Maybe the month of june or july?
