muskieb Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Hoping to hit the water near Point Au Baril on Saturday and struggling a little in locating boat launches. Any suggestions in the area for an affordable boat launch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 muskie, it has bee 20 years since I have been there but there was one right off of hwy 69 across from Kennedy`s general store. A gulf station on the corner of 69 and the side road? There also was a bait store a little farther down the side road that had a beach I used to launch at also, but summer and warm water. No idea where to look up Kennedy`s number, but the people there used to be great and they may be able to help you out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesky1713 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 As far as I know there are no free launches (unless you are friends with somebody) in Pointe au Baril. There is a launch right in town, but it will cost you a pretty penny. Try calling Desmasdons Boatworks in Pointe au Baril. Maybe they can point you in the right direction (705-366-2581).

discophish Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 There is a public launch across from CC Kennedy's. I was by there a few weeks ago, and it looks like they have been reconstructing the walls around that area. I'm not certain that it's even there any more. All I know is that it is a sketchy launch pad, and really steep and broken up. I remember inspecting the launch thinking that one day I may go in from there, but realized it would be a bad idea. There are several marinas on both north and south sides of the bay, but I'm not sure how much their fees are. There is a bait shop on the east side of the hwy across from the gas station. If you call them, they will be more than happy to help you out. They are good people. Good luck! E & R Tackle & Bait Phone #: 705-366-2558 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdritchie Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Desmasdon's (705/366-2581), Payne Marine (705/366-2296) and Beacon Marine (705/366-2394) all have good launch ramps. Edited May 7, 2010 by Craig_Ritchie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
