Yeah, guides could definitely have a problem.

guides are listed as essential in Harris County. Keep in mind many are putting food on someone's table. As long as someone isn't sneezing/coughing and isn't hugging on the boat and you're regularly washing your hands, the risk is low. I'm not suggesting that we pack 50 people on a party boat but having two-three people on a guide boat fishing doesn't seem like that big of a deal.



Oh hell, I gotta tell my wife that!! I have a buddy that guides for crappie, he bought my old boat, I may need to go!

Said Denton Police said no fishing.
City of Denton no big deal
But if it is Denton County the lower part of Ray Roberts is in Denton County

for what it's worth, they can not pull you over, ticket you, or in any way detain you while legally out and about.
we have a bill of rights for a reason and there seem to be a lot of municipalities that are tossing it so they can "be in control".
if you do get pulled over and questioned as to where you are headed I suggest you be civil but get all the info such as name, badge # etc. and file a civil rights complaint after.
city/county/state/fed can all issue guidelines, they can not suspend our bill of rights or freedoms without martial law being imposed and then we have a huge problem.

if people want to be stupid and go co mingle while out and about then go for it, I am staying as lo profile as I can and avoiding people as much as possible since the wuhan flu would most likely kill me if I got it.

Hopalong is right. If you are lucky enough to get on a Jury for these cases of Inalienable constitutional rights violations I suggest a very punitive award for the plaintiff. These cities need to have their chain jerked.

The state of Texas said it’s ok to go fishing.

Fortunately, I live in a neighborhood on Lake Travis with our own boat ramp, 90 seconds from my house. I can drive to the ramp, launch, tie off at the courtesy dock, pull the trailer out and park the truck, get back in the boat and fish without touching a single thing anyone else has touched or been anywhere close to another human being's breath. Then I reverse the procedure, drive home and back the boat up next to the garage. About as socially isolated as possible. I don't think I'm being irresponsible, in my particular situation, and comports well with the Governor's edict. I only hope the marina owners keep the ramp open.

self government cannot exist without self discipline. it appears that a lot of people need big brother to tell them what to do, but again it's only the flu

From thecolonytx.gov: The Colony Police Department is NOT pulling over drivers and asking for work documentation in light of Denton County’s current "Stay at Home" Order. If an Officer makes a stop, it will be for an observed traffic violation or investigation of another criminal offense. They will, however, encourage the community to voluntarily comply with the Order as they conduct daily operations.
