Anyone know if offshore charters are cancelled now because of the “non-essential” business closure order from the Governor?
He listed what businesses had to close and they were not on the list.

“Does this apply to fishing charters?
The executive order does not prohibit fishing but it does restrict access to public facilities for recreational purposes. The prohibition does not apply to individuals possessing a current, valid commercial fishing license or permit to the extent such individuals seek to utilize or rely upon public piers, docks, wharfs, boat ramps, or boat landings in connection with commercial fishing activities. The Governor’s previous Executive Orders enforcing social distancing guidelines still apply.”
So, don’t congregate and don’t get closer than 6 ft to your Captain. I guess this severely limits the number of folks on the charter and I don’t know how you stay away from your Captain or his Mates throughout the charter…
