Today brings another breath of fresh air in Northern Michigan with the return to cherished opportunities to get on the water, fishing rod in hand. Per the Governor’s order, charter fishing and guide services can resume activities on May 7, but the key for all is to do so with safety measures securely in place.
The state allows reopening of these services provided they:
Â
- Prohibit gatherings of any size in which people cannot maintain six feet of distance from one another.
- Limit in-person interaction with clients and patrons to the maximum extent possible, and barring any such interaction in which people cannot maintain six feet of distance from one another.
- Provide personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, face shields and face masks as appropriate for the activity being performed.
- Adopt protocols to limit the sharing of tools and equipment to the maximum extent possible and to ensure frequent and thorough cleaning of tools, equipment and frequently touched surfaces
Be safe and soak in the North as you start to rack up your next big fish stories.
