Unfortunately we are all facing very tough times. What will tomorrow bring? Who knows?One thing that can never be taken from us is our memories.Remembering Better TimesFor many fishing is not just a past time, but a way of life. Can we still fish?Gov. Ron DeSantis’ statewide stay-at-home order issued Wednesday afternoon specifically mentioned fishing and hunting as allowable activities for Floridians. The governor’s order put recreational activities “such as walking, biking, hiking, fishing, hunting, running, or swimming” among a list of essential activities -- so long as social-distancing guidelines are followed.
