After thirty years of wonderful life my summer home is being kept for another year

Good for you Jim...Enjoy!!!

Pic was taken last Saturday. This is what 1.5 million bucks gets us. Gonna be a short launching season unless they dredge.

Here ya go,,,,,,,,,

Depends on the conditions that day. It's about 12 miles. If it's calm figure about 25 to 30 minutes, depending on your speed.

They look in your bilge to see if there is an accumulation of oil. Dirty bilges mean leaks and will get you written up.

If the Town of Evans has no interest in maintaining the marina it's about time to approach the state about making it a state park. 

What happened to the money that was earmarked for the repair of the breakwall?

Any info on whether the state launch will be open?

This is from the marinas website.....

• If you are looking for the use of the ramp with the side docks, it will be available as we build. We have put out notices that the ramp is Closed as of April 1 for Mon-Thurs until 3:30 pm each day – open after that time for use each day and all day on Fri-Sat-Sun. The ramp sides are usually the first thing installed as everything else is built off of them. The ramp’s center dock gets installed last. We hope to be clear of the ramp area by April 14. We will still be working on the dock utilities at that point, but there should be no more ramp access restrictions after that date; unless there is a weather event that puts us behind.

Should be able to pull the ice boom anytime.......

I thought that funds for repair were appropriated last year. This marina has been mismanaged for years. It needs to become the next state park.

Goodday Locoman
What I meant they are no worse then the harm freighters , two stroke motors
And evasive species are.
They do create habitat in the gulf the radio towers are fish magnets?
Eyesore is an opinion?
Dependence on foreign power is a fact?
Thanks for the reply

Freighters come and go, turbines would be permanent. Some invasive species have not been as harmful as first thought. Perch, walleye, and bass are eating them up. You cannot compare the Gulf in any way to the Great Lakes system. Wayyyy different. Our dependence on foreign power is at an all time low thanks to our President. Right now the US is the number one producer of oil in the whole wide world.

 Diversion is right on with his post.

My opinion, JoJo you're a no go. Wind turbines DO NOT belong in Lake Erie. They are a bad enough eyesore on land. What qualifies you to state there will be no harm to the fishery?

Global warming

Keep it simple. Hook, line, and sinker with a piece of worm. Fish the edges of weed beds inside the harbor. Middle gap, south gap near lighthouse, or near the old South End Marina should get you some action. Plenty of panfish in those areas. Good luck!

12lb fluorocarbon for riggers and dipseys. Haven't  a breakoff yet. 

Liberal Demoncrats think anyone that does not agree with their agenda is stupider than dirt.

There are cabins at Lake Erie State Park if you can get one. Nice place to stay and close to Dunkirk and Barcelona launches. Check it out...

Jig for perch and you might catch a walleye while you're at it.

That's typical right after ice out. Gotta have your head on a swivel and take it slow.

I was there today. All gone from Safe Harbor and the outer harbor. There isn't much in the lake either. It probably would be all gone from the lake if they pulled the rest of the boom out.

Exactly, there is absolutely no need for these to be in the lake, this is not the ocean. If NYS wants to supplement its energy consumption from wind power on the water, they should place them offshore in the ocean off of long island and let the folks in the Hamptons stare at them! Good place for them, the scandinavian countries have had ocean placed windmills for years, let that be an example and place them off of the East Coast, not in our fishery or our drinking water. Just like the powerplant on the river, we do not see any benefit to that nonsense and this is the same resource grab, but they (albany and dwnstate) don’t have to deal with looking at it, or its impact on our community, in the case of the dam we have the ice boom that impacts us every year so the water intakes are clear of ice, all in the name of energy production for downstate. This will turn into the same nightmares, we will bare all of the cosequence while Albany and downstate benefit politically and fiscally. It is unaccepatable and every single boater, beach goer, fisherman and resident that enjoys looking at our lake and enjoying everything it offers in WNY needs to write their politicians or call them and say enough is enough and NO we do not want these in our water, period!!

Well said. I totally agree.

He means that the curbing that was causing problems has been cut.

You're welcome.

Give Terry Jones a call. Very knowledgeable with a great personality.
