Pigeontroller Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Any recomendations on whats the best place to launch to fish Long Point? I don't need cememt and a dock either, I'd rather use a less than perfect ramp and avoid the crowds...Waited at Crystal Beach to load for near 30 minutes in a line-up of 10-15 boats Monday...

Live2fish85 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I usually launch in Port Rowan. Alot less traffic and you are in the inner bay. I found the launch at the provincial park to be a bit busy as well as some along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snackpack5150 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I have used the old cut out at Long point not a bad launch and very close to the perch grounds. Hope this helps Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smally21 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 i use booths harbour mostly, never busy, easy run to ec10 or pottohawk. fin and feather is right next door havent used theirs dont know if its available to public if you drive around to longpoint itself there are 3 launches at marinas there..a little cheaper but it is quite a bit further to drive and id rather be in the boat than the truck.

I have a seasons pass at the PP only time I ever wait is when a inexperienced boater decides to load their boat on the ramp or someone decides to drive their brand new RAM down the ramp to boost their dead battery (saw that this weekend ) its usually pretty slow I find not much traffic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotsky Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Old cut is best imo I was camping at long point for bass opener and was looking to rent a motor boat. I called them to ask about their prices, some old woman answered and when I asked she said "Who is this?!" Who say that? You never had a customer call? She was just weird as hell! but later said Sat is booked but Sun should be good. So I and went in on Sunday asking if they have any boats for rent and she was there (recognized the voice) first I was just plain ignored, than some guy with out even looking at me says "I don't know", than the crazy lady yells at him "I'm not renting any boats!" I'm looking at them in disbelief about the total lack of customer service and just left. Just Wow! I would avoid that place at all cost! Next time I will go to Sandboy Marina.

Next time I will go to Sandboy Marina. odd. i think you'd be hard pressed to find another person with the same opinion as yours. i've always been met with smiles and don't have a single complaint after buying minnows, snacks, and launching there 15-20 times. i could be wrong, but me thinks you're somehow associated with sandboy after reading your post :spam: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotsky Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Lol, just shearing my experience. I had a friend with me that can prove it... Never spent a dime at Sandboy actually and don't know anyone there either, but will be renting a boat from them in a couple of weeks. Edit: old cut had better prices and is located at a better spot, which why I went there first. But if someone doesn't want my money I simply won't go there.

Rich Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Tp, booths, akers, sandboy, marina shores, old cut, the provincial park.. All decent ramps. Port rowan slightly trickier, but also generally a good ramp. I launch based on the area i plan to fish. Bring 20 bucks as that is the going rate for most ramps on the bay nowadays.

Alumacraft Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Dax what were you expecting the Crystal beach launch to be empty on the long weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 there is place just before the old cut livery called Post Marine I launch there most of the time ramp is smooth 10.00 to launch it also has a deep spot to power on to the trailer if you load that way. Randy has always been great with me I run some old equipment and he has always helped me out if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I doubt Crystal Beach would be packed during a normal weekday. Anyone launching on the holiday Monday should have expected long wait times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave524 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Long Point launches might be especially busy this weekend, think this is the weekend of the big Pottohawk Party, well past the age of participating but a wild time in my younger years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
