steelshady Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Not sure, most likely shore fishing since the boat launch is closed, but this I getting out of control....Three cop cars? really, I guess the criminals have self isolated. Open the boat launches and the shoreline for people to fish but keep self distance. The municipality has done a horrible job closing parks with no posted signs clarifying the detailed restrictions. Looks like the prime minister had a great time this weekend with his family... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not looking at the floor, and apparently going the wrong way. Coming across many a person, and we would laughed. Sometimes holding our breath and then bursting out laughing. Even one guy who's job was to ensure arrows were followed started laughing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Ya my wife was just at Walmart and some were going against the arrows . She is friendly , easy going and people who pass her going the wrong way don't even get a glance . She has a sensitive nose though , and gives some smokers who get too close a lot more room . As JWL said , If you have to cross over/under a taped off area you may have your bank book lightened up a tad .....or ignoring the C-19 signs saying No Entrance to park etc. There's plenty of wide open spaces to do your "thing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They closed the ramp to the public since I was last there . But I believe they keep the ramp open for rescues and marina maintenance . Did these anglers cross a taped or signed area ? I still think the $880 fines are way overboard as the families will be punished also . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heatmiser74 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Quote Meanwhile Truedope traveled to Quebec to be with his family that are staying there while he is staying in Ottawa. His own distancing rules don't apply to "His Arrogance" But a father takes his kids to an empty parking lot to roller skate and gets an 880 dollar fine. Hahaha... this crap kills me, talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill. "Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also travelled over the weekend, heading to Harrington Lake, which is about 25 kilometres from his home, Rideau Cottage, in Ottawa."... Ryan Tumilty, National Post. So J.T. literally drives 10-15min down the road to his "cottage" and the media/haters rip him apart. Meanwhile Scheer rams his brood (5 kids/wife) into a fairly small private plane, already with passengers (May/Qualtrough, security detail & crew) and flies 1000kms across country & crickets from the forum crew...hahaha (headshaker) As for the $880 fine, that was complete BS and I hope he fights it. That being said most of these policies/laws/bylaws being put into place aren't coming from the FEDS but from the province and municipalities. If you have an issue with them, point your finger to Dougie, your MPP or your mayor. BTW looking at the numbers, Canada seems to be handling the COVID pandemic much better then most of our G20 counterparts. Its good to see that our politicians from the FEDS, Province and Municipalities and regardless of party affiliation seem to be on the same page for once... Go fishing (alone) and stay safe fellas....

Tony Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 I don't see the harm in fishing from shore.................As long as fishermen obey the social distancing rules, it's the same thing as being socially distant in a grocery store or some other store...........I certainly hope that they don't come down on people for being active in a recreational setting..........................

Not quite the same thing Tony ...... fishermen stay MORE than 6 feet from others as a rule . They have proven a cough or sneeze travels more than 6 feet . People waiting in lineups outside to get their groceries can spread a cough to others many more feet downwind . I had to wear plastic gloves at the Bulk Barn and not touch any bins.....maybe make wearing masks mandatory as well ? 😷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also travelled over the weekend, heading to Harrington Lake, which is about 25 kilometres from his home, Rideau Cottage, in Ottawa."... Ryan Tumilty, National Post. Who cares about sheer, he isn't the one loading the country. JT is the leader and preaches a lead by example. Quebec is also turning people away who have no reason to go into the province. JT preaches about social distancing which is fine when you have someone doing all your "chores" for you. I would love to skip grocery shopping, but unfortunately two or three store visits need to happen because of all the panic buying on things. He preaches social distancing, which if his kids and wife are living elsewhere for the time, he should not be travelling to visit. I would love to visit my parents, but since I don't live at their address I won't, I don't need the fine. It is a true shame only slimeball types want to run for office, if there was ever a honest politician for this country or province, things would be much different. Re: The fine of $750 plus taxes and fees to make it $888, it is valid in some situations with how people behave. There always will be two sides to every story and I think some of the outrage over these fines is solely based on hearing one side, but you know who is drooling over profiting off of these fines ... the lawyers and the courts. The lack of clarity and generic wording will definitely help. From what I have read, it seems to be okay with you are following a path, but if you stop and sit you might wind up with a fine.

On my flight yesterday there was a buy wearing a mask that is designed to cover your mouth and nose ... he was covering his mouth and his chin. Other people were wearing masks that were fashion over actual use, in the sense that it will only stop large particulate. Plus masks should really not be getting reused and when it comes to N95s, they are only truly 99% useful when they are properly fitted and I will wager most people wearing them do not know that. Also for masks ... watch this if the linked video works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genec Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Snags, that video is gross! And people have to wear those when companies buy that product, assuming they were made in sanitary conditions?? Really emphasizes the need to buy only Canadian made!!

People don’t need to fish- Having a fish fry here and there isn’t essential to feeding a family...sorry. My boat is parked. Thx for the excellent advice Captain!!! In the 2 weeks since this advice was posted I have come to learn that MANY !!! fisherpeople on this site have a huge sense of entitlement!!! ( YES EVEN THE OWNER THINKS HIS WANTS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THE THE REST OF US!!!) Sad, very sad!!! If you google - What can I do as an individual to help stop C-19 you will find the same thing everywhere!!! What is that advice? STAY HOME!!! It's people on here and the like minded who refuse to adhere to the travel ban that will lead to martial law!! Then it will be them making the biggest tear puddles after they caused it!!!

We can see how easily the governments can easily become a dictatorship . We will do whatever it takes to fight that move . I was fishing today ....next guy was 60 feet away . We were both much safer than the hundreds shopping at our local Walmart today . (happy shopping) !

genec Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 In reply to Slabtime's post, I want to include the following article: Premier Says Fishing Season Won't Be Delayed Dryden, ON, Canada / CKDR Mike Ebbeling April 16, 2020 03:19 pm Despite COVID-19, fishing season will open as normal in Ontario. That's the word from Premier Doug Ford. However, Ford is encouraging organizers of fishing derbies and tournaments to cancel their events this year. "Fishing will still be open, but the fishing derbies, we're requesting, we're not putting an order in, but I think it's common sense, we don't want the fishing derbies to happen." With some boat launches closed, (City of Dryden launches remain open), Ford is encouraging anglers to get out, mind their personal distances, and fish from shore."If people want to make sure of their social distance and they are on the shore and they want to throw a reel and a hook in the water, than by all means, as long as they focus on the social distancing rules." Ford says he doesn't see any issue of going outside and getting some fresh air as long as you are following the rules. Slabtime, the STAY HOME part is so you DON'T contact OTHER PEOPLE!!! Fishing and hunting by yourself is NOT CONTACTING OTHER PEOPLE - what part of this don't you understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwl1 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Mr slab....I have personally known some of the members on here for almost 20 years...I can tell you that the ones I know certainly dont think they are entitled to anything...many of us have directly worked on conservation efforts with local clubs and the mnr...have paid thier dues by putting in many volunteer hours over the years to help ensure there are angling..hunting..and outdoor activities for many years to come...and have opened opportunities for everyone..so as far as entitlement goes...not entitled.....we worked for it....and as far as finding a way to enjoy them at this time....I can assure you that the people I know will be doing so way more responsibly than the average person going to the grocery store....will be bringing everything they need from home... not stopping anywhere in between...not going anywhere that is closed...and not going to be in contact with other people.....if that's not social distancing and being responsible I dont know what is....i have more of a chance of getting sick from anything or spreading a germ at work later tonight than i ever will casting a line where i am going..and after all this is a fishing forum.. not a female dog about the pandemic forum...lol....
