Is the park closure gonna affect us with the fishing?
More later. I will be waxing my bobbers tonight and watching a couple of Rick Murphy shows to figure out where the fish are. I along with many others are still in. The last time this happened was in 1995 and it lasted 4 days. It happened again a few months later in 1996 and the closure was for over 10 days. It is only Tuesday.
I will be part of a volunteer civilian patrol in the Park Friday and Saturday.
We will be watching for poachers,drug runners, human trafficers and others who view the government shutdown as an opportunity to conduct illegal activities.
Any violations will be photographed.We have learned from he Zimmerman case
We will look like common fishermen as our cover. VHF 72
I'm not very good at that. Have you seen Nick lately?
Man, I thought my secret snook rig had'nt gotten out yet, your using the wrong bobber though, a snoopy works better and a sponge bob bobber is the bomb.
Me too. Hope these do the job.
It's Closed and It's Gonna Rain!!!
Move it to Nov. 2nd!!! Maybe I'll Show!!!!!!
Puttin in impact windows , and the task is takin longer then I had planned.
My money is on Nick !
;-P
And who will be monitoring that if they are more concerned with keeping people out. Drive it like you stole it!:driver:
There are several joint ventures between the Park and local LE.
Wouldn't do it.Blowing a manatee zone is totally different than a trespass.
Remembering your youth as part of the Latin Kings? Please.
Oh and Greg, do you really want me to respond? I'm thinking not. You will remain in the very cheap seats.
Those who go anyway Good luck and drive it like you stole it!
Hmmm hopefully the fwc or Collier county don't accept your challenge. If so then rangers on the park boundary and state and county working POI area will make it like the Iron Curtain thru there. BTW, collier county has just had a new patrol boat built and will soon be working our waters. Not sure if they are gonna decal it or not. Good looking boat
So, I'll fish it whenever I **** well please. This weekend being one of those times.
Not to mention that there ain't no "trespass" on unposted land except after a warning from an authorized person and a refusal of a demand to exit. I searched the CFR for federal exceptions to that and found none. The Secretary of Agriculture may have issued a "government shutdown" regulation, but I haven't seen one.
Due to the Federal government shutdown,
NOAA.gov and most associated web sites
are unavailable.
Only web sites necessary to protect lives
and property will be maintained.
See Weather.gov for critical weather
information or contact USA.gov for more
information about the shutdown.
Un-phucking-believable
So if I understand this correctly; I can fish ENP until the man tells me to leave. If he gets me a second time I am fined for trespassing cause he told me so the first time.
All you Biatches that wanted "change", here it is.
Nothing against the Park Rangers-- in fact, I like, admire, and truly appreciate those guys-- but I am willing to take one for the team to have the courts decide the larger issue. The arrogance of the federal government in thinking that it simply can bully the American people into submission just pisses me off.
I'm not into shooting the messenger (park ranger). Not his fault or rule. Just doing his job.
The other park personnel,who work for low wages, are forced into unpaid leave and now may miss a mortgage/car payment because of government dysfunction.
It's only an inconvience to us.
Postpone and reup the Show Up for November.
I'm fishing the park both days. If they tell me to leave then ill fish north out of the park.
We do not have many rules in the events that we try to organize for fun, but the one MAIN rule, is that we abide by the park laws and regulations. This is something that we cannot compromise on at all at any time if we want to have these in the future and in other parts of the park as we have been for the last dozen years. I know there is a large area of the 10K to fish, but the burden and complications are mounting against the event happening. We also represent a community that wants to continue to enjoy this resource in the face of mounting opposition to access.
I will not be fishing this weekend. We looked at this happening in July with the FFT and the possibility of being blown out by a hurricane which fortunately did not happed as now, we are realizing the complications of rescheduling the event. We cannot afford to have the event be associated with knowingly and openly being associated with violating the park laws for the future appears to be bright for this event. So as the sponsors donations are stacked in my office, we would like to know of potentially acceptable recycle dates knowing that we could be in this situation for an extended period of time, we are proposing:
November 2, 2013
November 9, 2013
Declare. We take no pleasure in this and let the flaming begin.
