Hughes Marina in Williamson is just west of Pultneyville, but I haven't been in there in many years to know what shape their ramp is in. Not sure what they charge. Someone else on here no doubt has more current knowledge. It's really the only option I'd consider "a local ramp". The closest NYS public ramps are at Sodus and Irondequoit bays, both on the west side of their respective lake outlets. Sodus is 10-12 miles east. Irondequoit is 18-20 miles west. Both are pretty decent ramps. There are three other ramps in, or close to, Pultneyville, but don't think they'd work for you. - There is a town owned ramp at Bear Creek, just west of Pultneyville, however you need a permit issued by the Ontario Town Clerk. - The yacht club has a ramp, but it's members only. - There's also a ramp that used to be run by the restaurant there, but it's changed hands a few times and not sure if it's available for use any more. Might be worth a call to the Pizza Stop restaurant there to see. Hope that helps.

One of the comments speculated that this was a dredging pipe from the yacht club. It's not. The pipes used for dredging are stored onshore on a trailer, and only put in the water for the week or so while dredging and then removed again (I confirmed they are still on the trailer onshore). BTW Brockport's pipes are coils that likewise are rolled up and removed from the water and stored onshore after dredging is completed. The pipe is from the water treatment plant. It was placed last summer, underwater, anchored to the main water pipe , something to do with maintenance of the main water pipes, and obviously has come loose and floating in the area. They have marked it now with orange buoys while waiting for divers to come re-attach it to the main pipe. I've not heard when that is happening. Regardless, it is a temporary hazard you want to avoid if travelling in the area. It is barely floating, and would be a big problem if hit.

i my be interested. Need to figure out if they fit the boat. do you have any model # info and/or dimensional info? I am in Webster with boat in Pultneyville, so I must drive by your place almost every day.

NymphO, have your buddy reach out to me. I also have a "new to me" Fishmaster. Starting to try and build a network of "Fishmaster friends". I have the same Big Jon riggers I still have to mount and curious if he likes the location on his boat.
