JPD Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Does anyone know if the boat launch is clear from ice at Bluffers Park or Ashbridges Bay? I have a buddy with a new boat looking to put some break in hours on his engine. Any info would be greatly appreciated. JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dozer Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Bluffers wide open, the sail club is open too. Watch out for surfers, I was there a few days ago and there were 6 of them, right outside the boat launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPD Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Thanks Dozer, they'll have a tough time surfing tomorrow with 5 knot winds from the North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castgame Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 is there fishing this time of year in the marina? pike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin elia Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) I would be concerned about the debris and stumps. With all of the high dirty water recently, tell your friend to keep a close watch. Edited March 16, 2010 by justin elia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbac31 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Good point. There is alot of floating debris out there with ths high water. The Marina, you cant fish there without permission from the owners. I go in there but dont do it unless you hav their sweet grace. Lol. Someone tried that a few years back and it went to court I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish_d00d Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi All, I'm thinking about trying for Pike around Leslie Spit/Ashbridges Bay this weekend. I've never tried fishing in Lake Ontario by boat before. I'm assuming from the previous posts that there are public (free) launches at Ashbridges and at Bluffers Park. Does anyone know if you need a special permit/license to fish in that area? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if you need a special permit/license to fish in that area? Thanks in advance Well, I don't think you should be fishing for pike this weekend.. pike season is closed in April for Lake O. You don't need a special license to fish at ashbridges, but you do need a special boating license if you boat in that area. At Bluffer's there are a few signs saying 'NO FISHING' around the boats, but you could fish over by the rocks I believe? Not 100% sure since I've yet to fish there. O yeah, free launches at Ashbridges and Bluffers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsn Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Ashbridges is clear. I was down there few days ago. dsn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish_d00d Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Thanks for the info ... was thinking of taking my boat there, but I don't think I'd get a license in time. Plus, as you said, Pike is off-season in Lake O (just realized Lake O is zone 20). Oh well ... I guess I'm heading to Dunnville for catfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
