I haven't been away from the house much in the last couple of weeks and decided to just take the Plymouth out for a short drive this morning. Drove by the ramp parking lot and it was packed. Traffic was heavy as well. I took a look at the inlet web cam and there were a number of boats in the inlet, but didn't see any at the sandbar. I suppose most are out there catching Dolphin.
A local news channel did a piece on commercial fisherman being able to launch at some ramps that were closed to recreational boats. They said that three counties down south had a total of thirty licenses issued last year in the same time period this year, there were over five hundred and thirty. I'm not sure how that would work, if you didn't register the boat as commercial. I let my SPL go a long time ago, when they started making it a nightmare regulating boats.
