Puking Dog Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Barts Cove or Chadwick Bay ? Has anyone out there ever rented a slip at Barts Cove in Dunkirk harbor ? I'm thinking of moving over there in 2017 because it's cheaper than Chadwick Bay. Is there a gate to the docks to keep crooks off your boat ? Is the water deep enough to get in and out without prop damage ? I own a 22 foot Crestliner Eagle IO Also, any opinion on Chadwick since new owners took over last year ? I slipped there a 4 years back, on F dock, no frills before I moved to Wilson to catch salmon and trout, but the old owners were lazy and I was always afraid to leave my stuff in the boat overnight because the neighborhood is full of low lifes . I had a friend who's boat got robbed but no one ever messed with mine because I always hauled my gear home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineman49 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I have never had a slip at Chadwicks , but I know that the new owners took good care of the launch area this past year keeping it clean & free of goose crap. Also the workers are younger & seem to be a bit more on the ball. My brother had a slip at Chadwicks for about 7 yrs under the old owners & it was not taken care of too well.

mr 580 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I'm putting my boat at Chadwick Bay this year. I had the new owner on my boat last season and I had a positive opinion. I checked on vandalism and reports I had weren't too bad. I keep my stuff locked up or off the boat to try and minimize that anyway. I had been splitting time between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie so this year I'm staying on Erie as it's closer to home. I think if you can do something by Feb 15th the rate is better.

RD9 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 I have had a slip in Chadwick for five years. Always left rods in holder the night prior before going out. I got robbed this year. My own fault for being lazy and not putting things away. With that being said it's a good place to dock lots of good folks. There are thieving scumbags every were. I lost six complete setups. I know they were not fisherman because they took the least expensive setups and left my wire divers / roller rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
