I just (5-5-20 at 7:45 am) made a drive by to Pass, Erie, Campbell and Heart lakes. All were pretty busy and parking lots are packed. There was one spot left at Pass and if I was going to go fishing, that is where I would have launched. The parking lot didn't have anyone hanging out. The others all looked like party hardy. Heart did have a city official looking like he was trying to maintain some order. So, my suggestion is that it all depends on your risk tolerance. In every case, I would be prepared to go to another spot or just back home. I am hoping that this will slow down in the next couple of days and weeks and I will see you out on the water, but not in the parking lot.
Thanks Phil. Probably later in the week and very early. May start fly fishing for sea runs since this will not have many people doing it.

Thanks Phil. I'm 10 minutes from Lone and drove down there at 10:30 this morning. I expected more than the usual dozen cars, but today counted over 30. Too many for me so will wait. Bob's right. I too will hit the beach.
Great post and comments. Please keep us posted on how the beaches look and what success you have. I'll give things a try later in the week.
