Just saw on news that an opening today between 1-3pm - silly question but coincidentally was thinking of going fishing today around peg leg - would the opening negatively impact any fishing I may try TODAY?

thanks

Wil not effect that area at all today and with only 2 hours there may not be that many boats out anyway so the effect may be minimial this time.
