  9. When you find the funding source for a new marina & launch around Woodlawn Beach or Smokes Creek let us know! We have been trying for years to get Sturgeon Marina wall built to keep sand from filling in opening.All the parties to be have tried!SBH is only about 1/2 mile longer by boat to any of the destinations you mentioned. I give you credit your persistence toward your dreams are there,but money is not there in NY State! Sent from my SM-G960U using Lake Erie United Mobile App
  10. One problem at SBH Launch is the Launch responsibility is part of Safe Boat Harbor Marina.They collect Launch Fees,that is not much after subtracting Empire Pass holders and Free Monday to Friday Oldtimers!They probably just cover the worker that collects fee wages.

  11. Where is this Walleye Club Access they have ,so they do not care about access? Everyone knows we need and wants more Lake Access.But living in NY State funding is a big problem,especially for building a complete marina and launch where 100's of Millions are in play.The extra drive from Woodlawn Beach to SBH is not that far in reality.

  12. We will have a Members Only Meeting of E.L.E.C.B.A. at Cabela's on January 8th at 7pm. This is an important meeting for Election of Officers,we must have a Quorum to get this done! I hope to see a big turnout.If you want to nominate someone for an Officer Position it has to be done from the floor of the meeting. Sent from my SM-G960U using Lake Erie United Mobile App
  13. Then you get that one or two people that stop there truck & boat right in the middle of backing area! Proceed to take 20 minutes taking off cover,getting ropes & bumpers ready and rigging every fishing pole and setting them in rodholders.Holding everyone up to get around them,instead of getting ready in proper area ahead of time.You can't fix stupid so you need older people at entry shack that are not afraid to go direct these people!

  14. One other thing that would make SBH Launch more efficient is to have Tournament trucks & boat trailers park over in Union Canal Parking Lot and shuttle drivers to and from Launch.This would free up a big part of the Launch Parking for the rest of the general public.I have seen it so crowded some weekends in the summer just about no parking available . Sent from my SM-G960U using Lake Erie United Mobile App
  15. Yes a New Boat Launch built in slag dump would be nice,but you need to look at reality,this is NY State we can't even get funding to repair Sturgeon Point Marina wall to keep sand bar out there.Building a complete walled in Launch will cost millions. Again Union Canal has everything but the Launch Ramps,costs would be substantially small compared to what your proposing. Sent from my SM-G960U using Lake Erie United Mobile App
  16. I have been at the mouth of Smokes Creek many times with a friend that has keys to get through Metro Port.We go to observe walleye spawning!Everytime I have been there the mouth of the creek is flowing over about 6" of washed in gravel. Sent from my SM-G960U using Lake Erie United Mobile App
  17. Yes Smokes Creek is closer , but you do realize the mouth of the creek gets almost closed off by Lake Erie sand & gravel being pushed in by prominently SW winds.Would require losts of funding to dig channel,build break walls and a accross the front break wall to stop channel from filling in.Yes Union Canal is further away but all structure walls & big parking lots are already there. Only need to build a launch ramp.Cost would be millions less! Sent from my SM-G960U using Lake Erie United Mobile App
  18. Please share! Exciting updates on redevelopment progress for the former Bethlehem Steel site! Join us for a public meeting Tuesday, December 17 at 6:00 p.m. in Lackawanna Sent from my SM-G960U using Lake Erie United Mobile App

  20. The last draft I seen for Buffalo Outer Harbor had then building Handicap Fishing Access Platforms on outer areas where Pier Restaurant use to be.It is 30 ft deep close to shore with old channel running along the edge from where Allan Boat Co. use to be down the Pier Restaurant Area. I will check on this again! Sent from my SM-G960U using Lake Erie United Mobile App
  21. We have been trying to get a New Boat Launch at Union Canal,but every time we bring it up to Erie County they keep saying there is the NY State Buffalo Harbor Park Launch & Erie Basin Marina Launch. Obviously they have never looked at the crowded SBH when walleye are on,capacity used up.If they built Launch at Union Canal it could also be Permited just for Tournaments,freeing up SBH.Then the rest of the time be extra Launch on crowded days. I will bring it back up at Erie County Fishery Advisory Board. Sent from my SM-G960U using Lake Erie United Mobile App

  25. Two launch ramps have been plowed out and are open.Two boats are out in South Gap.Waves are breaking over Long Wall and water turning brown fast. Sent from my SM-G960U using Lake Erie United Mobile App
