That's insane. Gonna start using empanadas and flautas with trebles as top water to catch smallies in the raritan.

So, where are they going to the bathroom? I bet half those people wind up with poison ivy all over their nasty bits come monday morning lol. And the other half test positive for the 'Rona.

That shit gotta get stopped before we end up back where we started in March/April.

Jigman that's exactly where we're headed. With the summer months upon us, 4th of July around the corner, NYC reopening, I'd give it 4 weeks until we're in lockdown mode again. Unless the virus in every other part of the country is different than the one in Texas, California and Arizona which it's not, every state is going to experience the same. With the contagion rate of this virus and a significantly increased base of infected people precisely because of gatherings and stupidity like the pic Andy posted, the growth rate of cases will be staggering. If 10,000 can grow to 50,000 in 30 days, what will 50,000 grow to by the end of July.

A spot that I wade fish on the Delaware River, has been for years, popular for camping / fishing / swimming. But no where near the that number of people!! The other day, there was a huge steel pot and lid with a cable running through the handle secured with a big combination lock to a tree branch.

My catch of an 18" striper, 4 smaller ones, a 15" smallie, and a fallfish would have made the beginning stock for a tasty fish stew.

This comment about "empanadas and flautas" is racist and completely inappropriate. There should be no room for such comments on this forum.
