For me, personally, fishing is basically my one and only therapy...my time away from work, the mrs, the kids and most outside forms of stress. That's under pre-covid circumstances.
Now, it's a matter of self preservation as my kids need me alive and well more so than I need fishing. My fiance needs me more than fishing. And my parents, who are over 65 and whom I'm extremely close with, do not need one more means of infection via me exposing myself and becoming a carrier.
One might ask "is the vampire jigman overthinking this?"
No, I'm not. If our president took this more seriously in late january/early February chances are we're well ahead of the game versus where we are now. But that's a discussion for another time.
Anyhow, it's a matter of perspective thmyorke. And kids add a shitload of perspective to life. As do the elderly or at-risk people in our lives who we may not have appreciated as much as we will now.
My point is, we didnt rush into more drastic measures as a country/society when this popped up. It royally f'ed up NYC and NJ. I mean shit, I'm starting furlough next week bc of it. Minute sample size of the impact. We cant rush out of it. The virus doesn't give a flying shit who it infects. And many people arent sanitizing per the CDCs recos. I cant chance fate to others or my government right now. I have to consider longevity in life. Fishing will always be there. And hopefully, so will I. But I'll gladly wait a few more weeks--for myself, for my family and for all of you reading this post.
And I've been doing a number on the stripers the last 4 weeks lol. Solo missions. Back bay
