Puking Dog

The marina doesn't open until May 15th. If they dredged it 2 months ago, chances are it will start to fill back in 2 months earlier, causing the marina to close earlier than Oct 15th. Be careful what you ask for. You may get it.

The docks for mooring are NOT in place. The docks for most of the bigger boats are floating sort of kind of near where they belong but they are not attached to the steel pilings. There are no walkways from shore to the docks on any of the docks. The launch and return docks are still in the parking lot. Most of the smaller boat docks over by the hot dog stand are also not in the water. I was there 4/6/2024 around 3:30. Nobody working on Saturday.

It's just like everything else. Lawyers will F up everything, helped along by law suit happy dick wads who can't take responsibility for their own bad decisions.

I just dropped off my payment for a 2024 wet slip (3/21/2024) They said the marina will be open on schedule and the dredging will be completed. Relax and see how it goes. Lots of people are not returning to their 22 ft slips. I had 10 people ahead of me on the waiting list and I got in yesterday. Had my pick of many available slips. I will make regular fishing reports when I get out.

This picture is from end of break wall looking at gas dock on March 5 2024. Sand bar is definitely better than years past, considering the lake was open all winter. Don't know how deep it is from end of sand bar to end of gas dock wall because there is no way to get down there without my canoe or kayak. Looks like a much easer dredge jog, so the wall repair job was not a total waste of money. Fingers crossed!

What is Lago?

Here is a thought. Take the 53 million dollars that NYS is giving in prepaid credit cards to border jumpers, and build a new marina on Lake Erie. Then let the border trespassers work there at $5 per hour until their court date comes up. After court sends them back where they came from, bring in a new batch. They can be housed at Gowanda prison that Democrats closed after releasing all the other criminals that used to live there, while they wait on court date. Win Win Win

Well then that was a poop ton of money wasted. Thanks NYS for nothing.

I got on the waiting list for 2024. I have a 22 ft boat. There are 10 people ahead of me on the 22-foot dock. We will see in the spring if marina wall repair has done anything. Fingers crossed!

Sturgeon Point is indeed open for 2023. I stopped in yesterday (Aug 9) to see what breakwall repair looks like. Hope it works, because it doesn't look much different to me than it was. Launch fee $15 as stated above. Wet Slips are about 1/3 full Only about 10 boats in dry slips. Harbour opening looks wide and deep from launch area. Sign at launch says they have ice and worms at $5/doz Watched some poor dude slide his boat off the trailer into the concrete way too early because he unhooked his winch and safety chain before backing down the ramp. Heard the lower unit or hull crash into concrete in shallow water. Parked his trailer and boat was still floating when I left. Hope he didn't go out into lake because it was pretty rough and windy. Maybe he was just going to his slip for the season.

Went out Saturday afternoon. Fished from 1 till 5. Only got 1, (5lb 12 oz) Caught it on big dipsy, setting 2.5 178 back Was in 82 FOW. Tried a 100 and a 200 copper set up for the first time to no avail. Marked occasional groups of fish suspended at 60 to 65 but no takers. Guess I'll break out the down riggers next trip. I agree with fish master, Chamberlain release is the way to go
