public boat launch

[mistaredone]

Looking to get out for some pike. Any suggestions for a public launch?

I always use the old cut. Think it's honor system right now

Old cut?

no public launches on the bay brother. 10 to 20 bucks depending on where you launch. Supposed to be a SW wind this weekend so you'll want to launch on the long point end of hte bay rather than the ST. willies side.

best advice I got with first boat .....

 

If the public /free launch is questionable ,pay the money and use a good/better launch ( = launching fee) .Avoids some of the hassels , less likely to get stuck , more secure parking. docks etc .

 

If seen guys stuck on free launchs when there is pay for use one steps away .Bet they wish they had paid the $10/20 !

We are going to be heading out for some pike to on saturday.

We will be launching out of Port Rowan probably. Maybe out of aker's, not 100% sure yet. We also might just head down to St. Clair... about the same amount of drive for us.

Hard to say what the wind is going to be, but the inner bay can get a little choppy sometimes.

 

Last I heard the pike bite was still not on there... but I've got a handful of spots to try tomorrow... have you got a vhf radio on your boat?
