Boat ramps

[stripernut1]

Had a fellow tell me he had to wait in line to launch at Lilly Creek ramp on Cumberland Saturday because of a huge amount of Ohio boats in line to launch. There needs to be game wardens & local police writing tickets at every ramp & if coming here to fish from out of state they need to spend the night in jail & ticketed too. Also if somebody is holding tournaments they need to be ticketed too. There's absolutely no reason knowing about the executive order & just ignoring it simply because you don't give a sh*t about the health of others. If i was wildlife officer & could write a ticket for it because i'd be smoking some *sses for it. Pitiful to take a chance of bringing more of that crap here than is already here & locals chancing passing it around over a few bucks & a frigging fish too. Idiots!!!

he was telling you the absolute truth. it was frustrating to see all the various plates

According to all the music blasting & jet skis & pleasure boats loaded down they must think they are immune to something that nobody else in the world is immune to. Of they could just be a bunch of dumb asses that don’t care if they get it or spread it around. I have a feeling a bunch of them will regret it in just a little while. We may all end up with it eventually, but why increase the probability 10 fold? That’s the part that I don’t understand.

I have been working from home for 4 weeks now, and lucky to even still have a job somehow. I've worked on doing my part (limited trips to grocery store, or anywhere else) simply because I feel it's the right thing to do to get this crap over quicker.......and i'm about to climb the walls. I live in Bronston and about an hour ago just needed to drive a little to save my sanity. Went over to Burnside ramp just to look around and there was an Ohio couple working on getting their pleasure boat ready. In different times you would have thought they were stealing it! They looked so nervous and kept looking around the parking lot, I guess to see if any of us locals was going to come up and mouth off at them. I'm kinda antagonistic so I slowed down next to them and they both froze and we had a staring contest for a few seconds. I shook my head and drove on down, in my rear view mirror I have never in my life seen Buckeyes who were working so fast to get that boat unhooked and ready to put in. Ha!
And we all know they are usually the ones slowing everything down and clogging the ramps up!! Unreal.

Tim, you just hit the nail dead center! A quick scan of license plates in the parking lots and you see Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan plates, and bot the odd plate here and there, it's a bunch of them. I thought the Govs rules were "if you come in to Kentucky from another state you MUST self quarantine for 14 days" ???
personally I dont care if they come and fish but its chafes me a little to think of all the people not ALLOWED to work right now while these out of state folks disregard our residents sacrifices.

No doubt........I live in Indiana, and am not crossing the bridges right now due to the lockdown rules.

Some people think the rules don't apply to them..........CHAPS my ass.

Rural Kentucky does not have the health care system to deal with a major spike in Covid-19 cases. From my experience of being sick since early march it's impossible to be tested for it unless you meet certain criteria which I guess I have not. Personally I have not been to work for weeks and might lose my job. So when I hear that people are coming in from other states and maybe infect more Kentuckians yes that bothers me.
I get that some of you have spent your extra money here and have bought houses here. Paid taxes and deserve to call Kentucky your second home. Hell probably love it more than some of us that lived here our whole lives. But right now is not the time. Some of us are fighting for our lives and financial stability. Some of us may not be here this time next year to even talk about it.
So regardless which side of the fence you are on with this virus just know that losing the battle with this is not an option and we can't win the war with apathy.

Thanks and God Bless

I thought our governor has said repeatedly that people should stay at home except for work, groceries and if they need medical attention. I've taken that to mean they don't want anybody going out to do things like fishing unless it's on their own property.

Not exactly read the whole press release statement or whatever you wanna call it. Yeah he says be safe stay home but at the same time they encourage outdoor activities done in a responsible manner. Even in Ohio and West Virginia where they have shelter in place orders they also encourage outdoor activities I think they list hiking stuff like that. It’s common sense going to the lake I don’t need to get even close to anyone I might get gas pay at pump use some hand sanitizer. Loading and unloading I don’t need to interact. So I can’t really see why anyone would think fishing done smart isn’t ok.
