No.
People aren’t gathering together at LAB.
People are maintaining and practicing safe distances.

I don't understand your question. Do you have a specific point to make  Smile ? How many people do you normally count on one of your fishing sessions? I don't count people.

Most of the people that I noticed appeared to be at much greater distances than the minimum of 6-ft that is being required and almost everyone appeared to be wearing their face masks.
I did not notice any groups of people gathering or stopping along the beaches or the walk-ways along the water's edges.

The people that I did happen to notice appeared to be practicing safe distance whether they were walking, running, SUP boarding, kayak fishing, float tube fishing (me included) and approx 25-35 boats were heading out to deeper waters.

I hope this information was helpful,

SP Dan       <"))><

Thanks Dan I appreciate the info, My mom has cancer and its made this whole pandemic harder to get out and do stuff. I have to consider what I do even more now so that I dont bring anything home that can hurt her. Ive been itching to get out and float tube but if theres large amounts of folk on the water I wont be getting near it for a while.

Thanks again for the info and tight lines

Do whatever it is that is the safest for you and your mom.
I hope to hook up with you as soon as this pandemic ends.

It’s probably a bit easier for me being retired, single and having no kids at home.
