o the humanity Armageddon mass chaos and hysteria dogs sleeping with cats what's next.

This kind of leaves it open......how about ramps belonging to businesses and marinas as these are privately owned? Would gladly pay my 5$ to keep fishing. Im by myself unless my son joins me.
Would that be the nc side of Wylie also

I saw 20 to 30 youth on a small pier the other day, and a runabout boat loaded with at least a dozen when Police arrived and ordered that park CLOSED. They had ZERO concern about covid 19 or their family at home that they could transmit the virus to. (Alabama, BTW)
People need to grow up!
Yes, it's going to suck for a while. But the river banks aren't closed and the Big Allison pier will be over crowded until the law runs them off. So, I guess I'll have to take up drinking and chasing women again. Nah! That cost to much and can get complicated. I may as well resort to making some soft baits and melt up some lead weights but other than that, it's work and stay home and hope I don't get the crud from someone's recycle or trash. You'll come up with a plan and holler out.
I'm getting to the point I might call Brett for some meds. I'm out already! :Rofl

This can be attributed to all the idiotic pleasure boaters whose blatant disregard to social distancing by having 10 more people in their boats, who gather by the hundreds on every available sand bar, and really just don’t care.
YepQuote:

Parking lot was stacked so they resorted to parking along the roadway.Quote:

Thats not what it means. Only public facilities at this point. Pay to launch is still open for now. And the lakes are NOT closed.Quote:

My friend keeps his in a private slip at a marina. He can come and go as he pleases.
My point is that the SCDNR is at fault. Instead of punishing everyone, why didn't the officers give the guilty parties hefty fines? This would have been enforcement...their job. As usual, the government has a knee jerk reaction and the governor closes all the ramps instead of telling the law enforcement to do their job. Am I wrong?
There likely aren't near enough DNR officers to enforce the laws on all the lakes. The number of idiots is staggering. In addition, it would be putting the DNR agents at risk of a slow painful death from the COVID. Best solution to the larger problem was to close access. Now they can find all the idiots in a smaller area to write tickets.
You wait til sat, the same ones will be back out there on the water doing the same thing, minus the fisherman. on the islands , ganged up, you wait and see. They were everywhere sun on wateree! Unreal!
Yup, took me a good 30 minutes to get to the landing at Bowdens on Beaver Creek, lake was full of pontoons and jet skis, and the boats trying to put in were lined up all down the landing, the drive, and halfway to 97 around 1pm
They finally managed to ruin it for fishermen.
They have been trying for decadesSent from my SM-G965U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

They have abundant manpower on this lake to enforce the craziness. Again, this is just my lake here. I can’t speak for anyone else.Quote:

No no say it isn't so! Let me get this straight all public ramps are closed correct? But if u have access to a private ramp you can still fish am I correct on that?

That's right bean if you have to pay to launch you can still go. Just think about this stores are open for people to shop and hospitals are open so why aren't they worrying about them. The virus should be running loose and spreading every where but it isn't. People are still working and the only one that got a raw deal is the food industry. Crock of you now what in my opinion.
Out of curiosity I looked some stats up. There are 5.2 million residents in South Carolina and since it was announced we have 1125 confirmed cases and the government is running peoples lives and lively hood over this. More people have died from drunk driving than the virus
Thanks sinkermaker my wife was in here nervous thinking she would have to put up with me every day of my vacation next week. The fish have been biting very well on the parts of the lake santee cooper that I fish. And if I'm not mistaking full moon is in a couple of days so guess I'll be ok. Yes the food industry has taken a big hit. And there will be more things to come I'm sure of itAttachment 370631Quote:

Nice mess of fish I got my own ramp and planning on trying it Thursday and Friday to see if I can find enough to eat.
My wife has sheer panic on her face when she realize I won't be getting out of house.:biggrin
SCDNR has closed all 16 state lakes
