Laker624 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 Need a little help. On Thursday a buddy and me will be out on Erie off of Sturgeon Point and we have never fished this area before. I’m not looking for your secret spots but any advice would be appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile AppWe went out of Sturgeon POINT last week and bottomed out on the sand bar at the harbor entrance both going out and coming in and my engine was way up. I will not launch there again this year. I would recommend going to the cat.Sent from my LML413DL using Lake Erie United Mobile App

I don’t want to screw our boat up so we won’t launch there. The only place we’ve ever fished on Erie is out of Dunkirk. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

Fyshon Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 Try Googling, Town of Hanover launch...or Hidden Harbor Marina. That puts you right on the creek
Laker624 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 Thanks everyone. We are going to go out of Cat creek now. Now we are just looking for somewhere to park and sleep we sleep right in our hauler. The marinas I called today said no overnight parking. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App
Fyshon Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 There are Indian reservation truckstops no more than 1mile from the launch

jimski2 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) The Hamburg Sun newspaper reported the Evans Town Supervisor in her proposed 2021 budget had funding for dredging the The Sturgeon Point Marina. Perhaps they realized the loss of funding from marina users and travel costs for resident's travel to access the lake in their town is worth the maintenance costs. Edited November 20, 2020 by jimski2
Norm Moser Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 I cant believe that there is not a sand and gravel company out there that wont suck that stuff up for free.
tgabel123 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Posted November 20, 2020 Mary Hosler had a budget number last year too. She decided not to spend it since the dredging was done by volunteers. Where did that money go? Why did they let the sand bar build up forcing early closure of the marina? Slip holders like me lost nearly half the season and got no prorated refund. She needs to be replaced she is mismanaging the resources in the Town of Evans. 7
milt Posted November 21, 2020 Report Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) They should give slip holders there money back for this 2020 season, went in late got out early, im not going back next year i cant believe not many people are gonna go back Sent from my iPad using Lake Erie United Mobile App Edited November 21, 2020 by milt 1
tgabel123 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Posted November 21, 2020 I think that is Mary Hosler’s plan. Mistreat the slip holders so they don’t come back. Then she can claim the marina is not financially viable and close it. She has shown no interest in keeping it open. She needs to go. 2
jimski2 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Posted January 8, 2021 The sand is a valuable product for construction jobs. After all the Pyramids were built on sand.
Norm Moser Posted January 9, 2021 Report Posted January 9, 2021 I agree, I was saying the same thing. Why cant the town contact some of the gravel companies and see if they will do it for free. They used to suck up the gravel at the head of Strawberry Island years ago for construction, they had huge piles of gravel and sand at the foot of Hertel . Or is it a DEC thing and red tape that stops it ? But it sounds like a win, win if it got through.
jimski2 Posted January 9, 2021 Report Posted January 9, 2021 Last years dredge project was completed by apprentice operating engineers union . Union Concrete-donated the equipment . For a year with noIce on the lake and the walleye season open for two weeks it was frustrating for boaters here in the Southtown area. The town should give the marina to the County or State Parks for operation. They received all our registration fees and sales taxes that they used nothing here. Think how much sales and fuel taxes that disappeared. The money for the operation is stolen from the boating community.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United 3
Fyshon Posted January 9, 2021 Report Posted January 9, 2021 Not too mention that they charged 15.00 to launch too...Sent from my SM-N981U using Lake Erie United Mobile App 1
