Chrisb Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 There has not been any ice in Erie all winter. I have not been to CB but I can 99% guarantee there is no ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verado Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 I haven't been out there either but I doubt if the docks have been put back in. I know you don't need them to launch your boat but for old guys like me (who is often alone) they are a necessity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisb Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Miss stated my previous post. It is the Buffalo canoe club in Crystal Beach not Bertie boat club. They are in the same area though.

FishingDayz Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Last week I was at crystal beach and no docks in yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemaker Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Docks are being replaced with brand new ones at Crystal. Halloween storm destroyed both. They are being manufactured by an outside marine company. No word on when they will be installed though. Can't really get much info at town hall what with the covid 19 pandemic . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verado Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Yesterday I went for a ride to see what our local ramps looked like. At Port Colborne's Sugar Loaf the centre dock was usable but about 2 inches under water. Two boats were out from here based on the trucks and trailers in the lot. At crystal beach there was one dock in but also slightly under water, usable for one boat at a time with rubber boots. Two or three boats were out from here as well. My question is are we allowed to use them? I go by myself, can launch my boat without coming in to contact with anyone, but is this acceptable. Can I be stopped by the police while trailering the boat for unnecessary travel? There are a lot of questions we don't know the answers to yet. As much as I would like to go fishing, I would not like to be perceived as careless and increasing the chances of infecting myself or others.

smerchly Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Ford was on the radio today ....there are tighter restrictions as many are not listening to the "advise" . Someone tore down a snow fence at a park to let their kids play on the slides ,etc . All recreational activities are supposed to shut down but people may walk dogs or stroll in some parks where there's large open spaces ....keep clear of others .  As of today CDP was open (sign at entrance to read) , and the launch at the Beacon was open ...but that may change today !  Watch the news today , Ford is putting us all on notice .

FishingDayz Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 I have debated going out as well. Thought to myself that being on the open water away from everyone would be the best example of social distance. Going for a walk is encouraged so why isn’t a boat ride? I decided not to go.  I think we are now at a point of don’t go out at all. Really I think they need to put a two week lock down in place, no incoming flights.  Any leeway someone they give, someone will ruin it for the rest of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 It's not the boat ride. It's people at the launch you are likely to meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marktheperchman Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 I don't need a marina to launch my canoe so it is alright if I go out fishing. I hope so because I'm heading out to the lake today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no comparison to a person fishing solo from a canoe/yak or from shore to all the people still use buses etc. to get to work , or the lines of shoppers waiting to get inside a grocery store . What you are saying Mark IS common sense ! Enjoy your day !    I was skunked on my first perch run yesterday .....nearest fisherman was 2 miles out on the lake ....
