    The Fishery guys from Erie County Advisory Board have failed to support the Woodlawn Beach State Park boat ramp idea. They complained about a sand problem. This is not a marina docks deal, just a simple boat ramp that can be easily cleared with a payloader and it is located off shore in deeper water. The Crystal Beach launch site has worked well for years now. It seems these boys are happy with what they have now but we need something better. Northern Erie County has dozens of boat ramps but the Southtowns is stuck with Sturgeon Point Marina and its expensive dredging operations every year.

    All winter long Huron, Ohio anglers have been taking limits of large walleye in the open water this winter. Trolling stickbaits with 2 oz. weights clipped on at various lengths off side planers at speeds of .7 to 1.0 MPH. Clear waters are found out to several miles off shore produced. Check out the reports at "Ohio Game Fishing site, Lake Erie reports" forums.

    Next to the Countywaterwater Waste Water Treatment Plant, also publicly owned Strohm's Marina operated a boat launching ramp. It was very busy. A breakwaters is not needed for docked boats like the Buffalo Harbor and annual or semi annual dredging will offer early spring fishing. Sturgeon Point Marina requires expensive dredging each spring and Hamburg Town Park needs dredging more than once.

    Years ago Woodlawn Beach was like Daytona Beach. Cars drove onto the beach, boats were launched and my grandmother set up a tent to enjoy the cool lake breezes before air conditioning became prevalent so . The North Towns and city residents have plenty of lake access but the South Towns with the majority of Lake Erie in their front yard have to travel many miles to launch their boats to Sturgeon Point. We need to unite on the best available location between Buffalo and Sturgeon Point. Route 5 and the 179 circle is easy to drive on and the state owns the property already. Eighteen Mile Creek is tied up with Condominium leases and the best place for early spring fishing is the bays off Hamburg.

    Evangola Park has a launch site used for catamaran sail boats. Go on Google Maps and see the site at Crystal Beach Ontario on Lake Erie. It works and is well used. It could be constructed at Woodlawn Beach and it is not designed for docking boats, just launching trailer boats. The Buffalo Harbor site is gridlocked on weekends and will be worse with all the new boat docks being installed.

    The state owns Woodlawn Beach Stste Park where we grew up launching our boats from the sand beach. A boat ramp system similar to the Canadian Crystal Beach ramp would work there. Money is available from the Power Authority and other State programs. Our legislators just do not seem to get it done. It is up to the boaters and their families. To go after them.

    Point Breeze ramp is now restricted to lease holders only. Due to high use days difficulties launching and retrieving boats from the small ramp resulted in the owner's decision to end open use. The nearest ramps to use are Sturgeon Point Marina and two ramps at Sunset Bay.
