Are you sure? Buffalo local news just said that boat launches were deemed nonessential on tv

[thork9]

It’s essential I need it for food, I’m not going water skiing, I lost my job, bull %=+$#@

[signalman]

I saw it on the internet new,s also,i know the closed the launch at the welcome center in geneva today.

[tim]

I can't find proof. 1 DEC officer said the article was wrong. Does someone know the truth? You read one article and it states launches are open another states they are closed.

[sandwick50]

Tim is correct.  DEC Director of F&W said today since their launches are by nature self-service, they continue to stay open.  I would assume same goes for OPRHP unattended launches.

[sandwick50]

Correction, Bureau Chief, not Director.

Yes this is good news if they remain open

I say we all fish!! This is a NYS leadership hack job.

The Boat Doctors in Olcott are reporting that all launches are closed. They are located only a half mile from the Newfane launch:

This is rediculous!  When I go to the launch I'm not exactly there to get all up in the other fisherman's space.

I can wait until the next guy is done at the dock before using it.  Not a problem to keep my distance.  Nanny state because I guess we can't police ourselves.  Only person more annoyed than me is me wife because now she has to live with a frustrated fisherman.  Don't misunderstand, I'm lucky that this is my biggest issue right now - but c'mon now.  Guess I'll join the guys on the pier again.

This is straight up the biggest overreaction in the history of the US. 

 

So far, just under 17,000 US deaths. There are 70,000 US deaths per year from overdosing, with a world wide death rate of 585,000 people in 2018, where’s the uproar??? I can name 10 more causes of more death in the US. Totally get that it sucks that some are dying. But did anyone see the article that says if you die (from whatever) and your autopsy shows you had covid 19, then your death cert will show you died from covid 19. So if I crash my motorcycle, die, test positive for covid 19, according to the CDC I died from covid 19. If you wanna keep your distance, I don’t hate you. But I’m not naive enough for this crap.

I’m going to check Mexico point today and report back, if that’s any help... quite frankly when my gf told me all launches are closed, I told her it is due to the high winds and predicted wave forecast...

I here only State ramps closed...? 

[garrymny]

OLCOTT closed?????? All of this is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. I remember during the Obama government shutdown the Iroquois national Wildlife refuge was closed! Not just the welcome center, the woods and Swamp had closed signs posted. Disgusting. I fish alone.

Even if there was a legitimate reason to close the launches, NYS is a day late n a dollar short. According to cuomo the curve is flattening. So obviously boat launches weren’t the culprit. I disapprove of him 100%. He’s doing something just to do something. 🤬🤬🤬

[Bluefin54]

He’s doing everything he can do, so when they realize they over predicted the death toll and everything else, he will be able to say, “see I saved NY, with everything I did”

Lol I’ve actually considered politics but I’d be in over my head. This whole thing reminds me of when cuomo instilled the “you can have 10 round magazines in your handguns but you can only have 7 bullets in them” type of crap. Maybe his policies do well for NYC, but he is not in touch with upstate NY.
