I live 2 hours “door to dock” in NE Indiana. Less than 5 miles from Ohio border. I purchased my annual Ohio license in early March.
I’m a Buckeye, born raised until I moved for employment transfer.
My friend and I have been self quarantined for over 4 weeks prior to fishing out of Mazuriks several times this season. ODNR is parked and monitoring State ramp when we visited. We launch Lund boat full of gas, truck tank full also. We make no stops, take sandwiches, drinks on boat. We troll, no bait needed. I have seen first hand many fisherman abide by rules of social distancing. From my experience, things seem to go very smooth at launch. I did witness an ODNR officer confront (very professionally) a small boat with 6 people, boat was pulled out of launch.
Common sense is imperative here. As stated, there is always the outlaw that ruins it for the rest of us. But overall, again, I have found MOST people at Mazuriks to be law abiding and polite.
I do understand with all of life’s woes, fishing is definitely a stress reliever. I have mixed feelings about Michigan, but strict monitoring of Michigan state ramps as the ODNR has implemented is sufficient.
Again, my experience, my opinion. Good fishing my fellow friends.
