Should have been done at least 2 months ago!

The marina doesn't open until May 15th. 

If they dredged it 2 months ago, chances are it will start to fill back in 2 months earlier, causing the marina to close earlier than Oct 15th.  Be careful what you ask for. You may get it.

Sturgeon Point Boat Ramp, One trailer, small boat out today Sand Bar is open at the end, small boat out. A large tire dump truck is parked doing nothing, but no excavator to load the truck is on site.

With all the sales taxes, fuel taxes, registration fees paid by boaters, the "rinky dinky town of Evans". That is where our money goes anyway. should turn over operation to the state Parks or County parks.

There are a lot of boating users are not fishermen. They do not contribute action but take up space for launches and parking. They use the lake for swimming, sunning, diving or just traveling around for recreation. Visiting restaurants, dinner and just escaping hot summer days. They need to be organized to have an effect on our Governor, Senators, Assembly Persons. Also the restaurant busunesses should be involved. The fishing contests are not enough to attract them. Speak this up.

The failure to have state action is from not having political power as a member there. Aother failure is not having an alliance with regular boating members who are not contest fishing members. Many boat fishing operators do not join or resent having the cash fishing interests in charge .

2025 Lake Erie changes !ass fishing contests need a permit from NY Dec. Anglers need to be registered to be tracked for management effects. State record smallmouth bass should be  is now nine pounds with more out of state anglers expected now. Waterfront improvement funding is expected and where it will be used is where pressure groups reach out to elected state officials for their influence. Walleye and bass fishing seasons need to be set to compare to Ohio and Pennsylvania  regulations  So better boat access ramps nearer to boaters and residents and out of state  terrific fishing on Eastern Lake Erie travelers for economic revenues to our areas. Long round trip drives especially in mid summer angling will not be required. Ohio has winter and spring walleye contests that could be held here along with ice fishing contests. Lake Erie has no shortage of Yellow Perch and Walleye populations.
