where can you go fishin or just be out side, what is closed?? 03/27/20
Ok where can you go fish or just be outside?
this is complicated, The Charlotte County amenities are closed !!! Now what is that.
this inculdes Piers, Park benches, Grills, handrails. shelters, bathrooms.
Think of it this way anything the county built, in a park.
So take the Spring lake boat ramp, you can fish from the sand /shoreline but you CAN NOT go on a dock, Pier , or use the bathroom.
Stump Pass park which is state only 50% of the parking spaces can be used. Which from what I understand is for most parks.
At the 41 bridge the walk way under the bridge is a county pier you WILL get a ticket if you walk on it.
however you should be able to fish from the shore line/ seawall.
Now I am sharling this after talking to the county. and it SHOULD be true, again if an officer says you have to leave, LEAVE
they are in a bad / strange place don’t make thier life harder.Just leave.
Right now during this time, we can have everything we want just because we want it.
So be nice to each other, people working in stores at the cash registers and cops and just anyone

this week in fishin 1 to 2 pm 03/26/20
So the ramps are open and the piers are closed, But for you Bass fisher people freshwater parks can still be fished,
Here’s the deal. You can fish from the shore at a fresh water park. What you can not do is sit on a bench or picnik table, go in a shelter or use the bath rooms. All of the amenites are closed. which while not siad to me I think is a liabilty issue. So as long as you do not touch or use anything in the park. remember no play ground equipment you can bring a chair and sit by the water or walk through some of our parks. But keep a safe distance from each other, when fishing a rod lenght apart.
Any questions or if I did not explain well enough call ne at the store or tune in at 1:pm kdwradio.com click listen now button we will discuss this more and talk about where the fishing is good and you can legally go. So this week in fishin 1 to 2 pm 97.5 fm or kdwradio.com
thanks
Military here?
it is likely the military are here, Mobile testing labs and extra hospital beds are all done by the military,
while it makes people un-easy to think military are here, it may be for very good not evil lock down purpose,
I am trying to focus on real things which they may be a big part of making oour lives better.
PS: makes me nerous too, but trying to keep cool head
