    @Dream_Inn Just remember that for right now there is no fishing except in the Bay.  Severn River, South River, Magothy etc  don't open for fishing till later in May.
    It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere!

    Thanks.  I'd look pretty dumb in the South River with two rods out.  I think most of April I may just hang at the marina anyhow.  But I will pursue the license either way.  (I can always be heading towards the bay :) )

    In case anybody else on the Potomac reads this:  a Virginia fresh/salt license is valid anywhere on the tidal Potomac, including tidal tributaries on the MD and Va sides.

    This is a bit of a moot point since all marina's and public boat ramps have been closed, but a further restriction was announced yesterday. Would apply I suppose if you had a private ramp or waterfront property. Was apparently put in place because fishing (while safely distancing) is still allowed but there were apparently still some raft up's happening with the excuse that "we are fishing".

    "The Government of Ontario has announced the prohibition of Crown land camping. Here are the details:

    Despite any Act or regulation that provides otherwise, recreational camping on public lands is prohibited for the duration of the declared emergency and includes occupying any public lands within the meaning of the Public Lands Act, including:

    • public lands covered by water or ice or both (My edit: so this includes virtually all waterways in Ontario)
    • for the purposes of outdoor recreational accommodation and includes occupying on the public lands any equipment used for the purpose of outdoor recreational accommodation such as a tent, trailer, tent trailer, recreational vehicle, camper-back and any watercraft equipped for overnight accommodation.

    I heard Michigan banned all motorised boats on the water.  Sailing yachts, kayaks, pedal boats and canoes are still allowed

    Some if these rules seem to make zero sense...but just 10 min in public reveals so many people have zero sense.

    I wish my marina had someone like that. I always think in the winter how nice it would be to pay someone to start the engine and check the systems and clean it once a month.

    So Jeff, do these owners know your exercising their boats? Just kidding...how do you get that gig and how much does that pay? Insurance?  I can see how this could go south real quick but then it is the keys...and @GMSLITHO that would be a trip of a lifetime....

    It's actually part of a bigger job, so taking the boat out really doesn't pay much at all. It's more fun for me and the owners are happy to have some gas moving through the motor.. I'm covered under their insurance just like if you let me drive your boat. 

    Sounds amazing GMS... have always wanted to do something like that but the regular job makes that impossible :-/

    Was just out for a swim/dinner/sunset with my quarantined friend ... sunset got cancelled, but it was neat to watch these clouds roll in.

    5pm on Friday south Carolina is reopening public boat ramps.  The ones they control anyway. They still couldnt close any of the army core ramps. 
     

    I think all the protesters across the country have fog horn leg horn scared.

    I wish I could fill my boat for the $1.50 at Sam's club.  I need to burn off my full tanks first though!  I'm ready to burn some fuel!!

    @javhav , the thing that might not work in my favor is that I keep my boat in a town marina. Last I heard, the floating docks weren’t in the water yet. They start allowing boats in the second weekend in May normally, keeping my fingers crossed.

    Gas is $1.93 by me.

    The longer the shut down continues the more you'll see these lawsuits, protests and civil disobedience.  

    I love seeing people standing up to the government for their constitutional rights and most importantly their right to go back to work.  Its a beautiful thing.  Makes me think there is still hope for the future of our country.
