Unconfirmed --- got a text saying.. As part of the governor's declaration of the state of emergency.. All tournaments on Elephant Butte are canceled from now to April 9th.  I have no tournaments on the Butte but do on Ute and Conchas.

This media driven insanity has gone crazy.. I can see canceling a basketball game. Just from the sweat and body contact and ball contact between so many hands. But a 20- 50 boat fishing tournament.

What’s worse is, this is just the beginning. The hysteria will only get worse.

I love how organizations, school districts, and businesses are putting a date or deadline on things. The virus knows no timeline lol.

Does Elephant Butte have enough water to launch a boat? Thats what I was thinking, bunch of liberal pansies there with New Mexico State college, hunted it a few years ago and couldn't believe how blue that area was

What’s worse is, this is just the beginning. The hysteria will only get worse. It certainly will! Heck most of the grocery stores around here are out of TP, Paper Towels, Bottled Water, Hand Sanitizer, Wet Wipes of all kinds, Meat, Bread, ETC!

Not to mention 10s of thousands of people sit in close proximity inside at a college basketball or NBA game. I’m fine with the precaution, though. I think shutting everything down, including work, public transportation and everything short of necessities and emergency services for 2-3 weeks is the only way to knock this thing out quickly, as unpopular an opinion as that is, and how much it would hurt. But I think it would be like ripping a bandaid off. It would hopefully be better than stringing this thing along and be the right choice in the long run.

So I guess if it branches out to include Texas it will affect more than a few measly tournament fisherman.
May not be a "bass fishing destination" to someone of your caliber but to many its all they have.
Just for my info.. where you once or still a FF ?
