Flappn Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Sorry I am with HTHM on this one. $20 bucks is crazy.....end of story. Innisfil is $25. The way rates go up these days across the board...it wont be staying $20 or $25 for long. I didn't or don't use Innisfil out of spite. That's an hour of work for me...to slip a boat in the water. Keep using those launches people and nothing will change...then again it's the Canadian way. $10 is reasonable... $20 is not right. Good way to turn away tourists.

fish_fishburn Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Most of the launches around here are free. The odd private one charges 5.00, which I think is reasonable. I guess if you want to live in southern Ontario you have to pay to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 $10 is reasonable... $20 is not right. Good way to turn away tourists. Exactly what I said to the marina operators. As well, it is the off season now if I am not mistaken. If I don't want to go in the fall, would I want to go in the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT8 smoker craft Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I think the main problem is the north shore launches on LPB are trailer parks first marina's second they make more off of seasonal trailer/slip renters than the weekend warrior so they raise the price if you still come and pay than it's a bonus for them if you choose to drive around the point to the $10 launches it doesn't effect there business all that much.

ch312 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 old cut is my #1 choice coming from brantford. i refuse to pay $20 for the "wear and tear" my dakota and a 14ft tinner are going to do on the concrete ramp. what makes it worse is im already spending another $20 in their store on snacks and minnows most of the time. so, ill gladly drive by them to get to old cut and launch for $10. they are actually fair priced so i kinda feel obligated to give my money to honest people rather than greedy...

scugpg Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I would rather have had food for belly. And I still think it is outrageous to pay $20 in order to launch a 14' boat. I totally agree. I took my boat to a small lake outside of town that only had one launch. It was 6:30 at night and they charged me $12 to launch. Worst part is that it was terrible fishing. Never going back. Its sad but true....if people will pay, owners will charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
