Kids are home schooling and I am home fishing .See boat with cover behind house . Attachment 371458Attachment 371459
I'd stay upwind of anyone coughing or looking/acting sickly. Don't know how you can stay safe at ramps. Too many knuckleheads that don't take things seriously. Good luck, stay safe.
You cost Brenda Money..Lol..

If it was me and I was going out there with the standard of 6 ft I would want to stay 15-20 minimum. Like MCG said, I’m much more afraid of the fools in parking lot and at the ramp. That’s why I’m just staying at the house. Had my share of problems over last couple of years and going to try to avoid adding this one to the list.
While out sampling, you wouldn’t believe (or maybe you would) how people don’t seem to remember social distancing. While out sampling the past two weeks, I have had to politely ask my fellow anglers to keep a safe distance. Most understand but some seem upset about it.Quote:

That does not surprise me in the least. People just don’t get it for some reason and I’m sure not smart enough to figure them out. But you did the right thing for sure.Quote:

As far away as possible, I would say atleast 50 feet if you can. Especially in a boat that should be relatively easy anytime. I've been wade fishing and launching my scamp in places well off the beaten path. Seen a wade fishermen Sunday and we spoke from a distance. Yep, most don't get it one bit. I work construction and have had to tell several to please keep their distance. They get a deer in the headlights look but oh well it's for both of our own good. I've implemented drastic measures for me any my men, we won't ride in the same vehicle to jobsites anymore. And we are adhering to the distancing rule. If I won't risk being in close contact with my guys who practice great hygiene and caution, I'm definitely not risking letting Joe blow get in my face for sure.

I think social distancing used to mean 6 foot apart but I hear tell that distance gets further every day ?
on the water I would say at least several boat lengths unless they are my buds ?
one thing for sure ,with every reason to be off work and the spring in the air the lake was packed I visited yesterday with ALL types of boats and stupidity best I could see from my perch on the bank .
