But on the bright side, no jet skis There's always a silver lining. I can't stand those things.

Just read that the MI DNR is implementing boating restrictions( not sure of the effective date). No boats with motors, jet skis, or power boats. Sailing, canoeing, and kayaking are still OK. Does anyone know if this is true? Does Covid discriminate against people who use motors? This is just an excuse to punish Conservative Republicans who Trap, hunt, and fish. Canoeist, Kayakers, and Blow-boaters can't or don't spread Covid-19 ? Give me a break. Same crap is going on in NYS as of today. w

what are you going to be charged with if you ignore the order? dont you still have to pay taxes on your boat? our governments are trying assume more authority than should be allowed.

Spring trolling on the big lakes here draws hundreds of people from around the state and out of state, locations like the Saginaw river can be a zoo when Walleye season opens. People driving from far away, congregating at boat ramps, shopping for lures, bait, gas, beer increases. Potential for accidents, etc. There have been crushes of people launching boats at some sites already. We've already had issues at fishing sites around the state where people were not following social distancing guidelines, some popular steelhead spots have been closed to public access.
When people don't use common sense they need to get told what to do.

Dig deep, and you might find you have the strength to hang on without being able to go motorboating for a few weeks. Pick your battles. Yes, if these new guidelines save but one person, it will be worth it!
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Yes, if these new guidelines save but one person, it will be worth it! You don't have loved ones with health complications or who work in health care do you? When that one person is your father, mother, son, daughter, grandparent, aunt, uncle, brother or sister you don't give a darn about your motorboating plans.

We've been shut down since March 20 and may have a hard time recovering of the economy is in the pits. My wife and I own and operate a wholesale nursery that sells to retail operations, agencies and non-profits. Spring is our busiest sales time and we're going to miss out thousands of dollars of income before this passes.

Then stay at home Coos! I was all for stopping the big gatherings, MLB games, big Church gatherings etc. Now, they are going to far, overreach is abound, especially in States with Dem Governors and Mayors. I have a full tank of gas in my truck, if I want to drive down to a lake and put out a small boat and fish, then come home, who are they to say I can't?
Used to be they quarantined the sick, the healthy went on exercising their rights. What they are doing isn't right.
