BOAT RAMP CLOSURE !!!!

[PASCOFISHBOY]

Johns Lake was open this morning

[Deadeye1]

All State Parks are closed. If there are Ramps within them they will be closed as well.

For example Salt Springs Campground and Marina are Closed.

I live in Martin, may have to drive all the way around the North side to get to Clewiston. Palm Beach County may not let me drive around the south end now since they went into shelter-in-place.

Palm Beach county is not shelter in place. Non essential businesses are closed and the boat ramps on the coast are closed. I fished out of Slims Friday.

Can confirm, they're closed. City police car is parked across the ramp in Dunnellon. But at least it's being used for something

That is really stupid--That ramp is only used for Fishing--Never saw anyone else go out there!! What about the Rousseau Ramp by the Dam??

The party boat crews were out in force this afternoon on the St. Johns River, and I am scared that they will shut down the ramps with this type of behavior.

I think they need to limit the # of people on a boat to two unrelated people or direct family members living in the same household. They can enforce it at the ramp.

98 ramp on Istokpoga was closed. They had the gates open, but multiple little signs stating that the ramp was closed until furhter notice.

It's a county-wide initiative. Goldendale was open yesterday, but I don't know the status of the damn ramp or Peaceful Acres. But I have read that Citrus county board of commissioners has been deliberately over leaving them open or closing them. I hope that it doesn't happen, but I believe it might.

This should help. FWC is putting out a map showing the status of ramps for all of Fla.

Thanks!

Solid map, I hope they keep it up to date.

Clewiston is open just drove through parking lot with 10-20 trailers in the parking lot.

The map in incorrect. Lake Conway Randolph/Hoffner ramp on the map shows it is open but Orange County Recreation Dept. list it as closed.

All of Florida is going to a stay at home order. I think fishing may now be out of the question.

That's a hell of a April fools joke for him to play with what is going on!

[250bassFL]

Before anyone replies. I know it ain't a joke. Just bad humor on my part. I want to fish from time to time

[Casslaw]

This stay at home order is going to hamper our fishing! I’m not trying to sound like an ass but we can absolutely fish without congregating in groups at all! I fear that every county or all state ramps get closed. The media has turned to fear mongering and “models”.

Trust China and their ways? Like they’re telling the truth...sorry had to rant a little.

There's the link to the executive order. Fishing is an essential activity

[perfect-storm]

What can they possibly do to you if you’re alone fishing? I understand congregations of people or groups in a boat. I can even grasp gatherings such as tournaments being shut down. I can’t imagine what they would do to enforce someone launching and fishing alone.

I think the main concern would be the closure of boat ramps...
