The obama administration is now threatening tos hut down charter boat fishing in Florida because the patrol boats are considered non essential in federal waters however the non-essential personnel are re-designated as essential personnel to enforce the charter boats not going fishing. "Florida Bay can be found between the southern tip of Florida and the Florida Keys. Sadly, at the moment, it has the misfortune of being designated as part of the Everglades National Park. No, Florida Bay it is not what you think of as ”Everglades”. It is not a shallow swamp filled with alligators. Florida Bay is mostly open waters, and is known for its fishing grounds used by both charter fishing boats and weekend fishermen. Well, at least it was. Charter guides received a message from the National Park Service this week informing them that they are not permitted to take clients fishing in Florida Bay until the feds get back to work. That means that more than 1,100 square miles of prime fishing is off limits between the southern tip of the mainland to the Keys until further notice. No word yet on what happens to the hapless weekend fisherman who simply strays into this now “off limits” area."
