Thanks Terry. Guys are saying if they charge $20 to launch they won't be going. We might have to wait for the public ramp to open up. We bring 3 boats for 4 days, so 60 a day is a little much.

Just curious as the what you call a fair price to launch Dave.

 

The private launches I use around the Kawarthas are $15 total in & out including parking for the day and I always thought that was decent, specially if they have a well maintained ramp & docks.

I wont pay more than $10 to launch anywhere. I mean really....how much maintenance is there on a concrete ramp? Most of them dont even have a garbage can, let alone a crapper.

 

Launch fees drive me crazy. Someone pockets the money, and does nothing for it.

Something wrong with the quote Lew can't quote at my end I've PM'd Roy and I don't think he's getting my PM.

10.00 dollars is lots Lew when you fish 2,3,4,times a week. Over $10 I think were being gouged and held at bay fishing waters that we pay for stocking and license's. Most is politics, these marinas close public launches to force us fisherman to fill their pockets.

What we need Lew, is more public launches.

I rarely pay to launch....definitely less then 10 times in my life ever. But I have no problem with a land owner charging whatever they want to charge for use of there shoreline. Waterfront property is expensive and so are there taxes and pretty much any marina is strictly a seasonal business...so they gotta do what they gotta do. Absolutely ALL the waters I fish have free public access. So from my point of view more public launches are a non issue and I'd prefer my tax dollars not to be spent on more of them.

I have no problem paying 10 or 15 bux to launch & park for the day. I was at a launch on Georgian Bay a few years back (no identity), $7.00 to launch, $7.00 to haul out. It gets better! $7.00 to park my truck, oh you have a trailer to park for the day that's an additional 7 bux. Total for the day $28.00! I've been there twice. The first & the last! LOL!

yeah I watched them playing on the ice, in the water

and the only thing I could think was

 

would they be pissed if I made a few casts into the open water beside them

Seen them there as well. Tried to launch my tube, but they had the launch blocked. :Gonefishing:

 

Terry, I tried some open spots at the marina after work. Nada. Ice is moving out,bit by bit.
