I agree, if someone wants to go out on the lake anytime of year we should have a launch site open and access to the lake!

Not to be an ass, but you do have an open launch site.  The small boat harbor...it may not be convenient or where you want it, but it's there.

NY could care less. It's always been that way.  With the talk of putting turbines in eries waters to planting those things all across the country sides.  The management of a panfish limit by my thoughts hasn't produced more fish. Some inland lakes are void of some species because limit fishing through the ice has stripped out egg laiden fish.  Erie is a vast body of water it's sustained itself for the most but still market fishing isn't a smart idea. If your idea of bragging about boxing out is what gets you off nothing anyone would say will change your mind.  All I know is having that sandbar year in year out has pretty much screwed with my enjoyment. Same as on a mild year like we had over winter why couldn't a single launch dock be left in for those diehard who would use them. 

The only time NYS cares is when they can garner votes or a voting group.  Special interest (feel group) groups are all the rage in Albany and Washington.  In an effort to increase or sustain its population, maybe perch should have the same season as walleye.  The number of perch that are caught with a belly full of eggs is staggering.  As far as the boat launch at Sturgeon Point, my guess is that liability may come into play to some degree.  Sad, but true, it's astounding the number of people who want to 'get rich quick' because somebody didn't do this or didn't do that.

Where can you park your car and trailer along the Hamburg shoreline? The Sturgeon Point Breakwater Repair had nothing to do with the Boat Launching Sites.  The sandbar formed this winter is as bad as ever.

What are you trailering?

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.

Thanks Dog....

There was a similar problem with a launch ramp in Oregon some years ago.  Here is an article on how they 'fixed' the problem with annual sediment gathering at the launch.

It may not be feasible at The Point due to the cost at today's prices.  But, without the cost of the annual dredging it may be doable.  It's something to think about anyway.....

What is Lago?

Lago sits where Herb's Tackle Shack once stood.

Hamburg has talked about building a state of the art marina between Hamburg Beach and Lago.  

Haven't heard any updates lately.  A private partner with cash (Paladino) could really move things along.
