yep I just went by there, looks like they had mercy on the guy with the white truck that was out fishing all day so he could get his boat back out and not put up the cement barriers in his way!

I will be trailing my boat up in 2 weeks and staying at Sandy Pond.  Will there be a place I will be able to launch?

This is Sandy Creek in Hamlin, NY.  Way west of where you are talking about.

[Busy B 123]

Oh ok

And for the launch on West end of Braddocks's bay, make sure you have exact amount for launch- $4(that's to launch and retrieve boat-$8 total). Not taking credit cards either.

[whaler1]

Yep, $4 in the vending machine in and out. E6 if I’m not mistaken.

Wonder what's the reason? People making too much of a wake?

Wave action. It’s caused by waves

I heard from a guy that a board was broken on the dock and it was very slippery. 

[GAMBLER]

Anybody want to see if we can get the town of Hamlin to modify the docks so it can be reopened? 

[Dusty]

Sure. I’m not sure how to help but if you need me to do something, let me know. I’ve already purchased a season pass for Braddocks in anticipation of this. Let me tell you that I’d much rather launch at sandy than most other ports. It almost seems that I’m a second class citizen for using the boat launch anywhere else.

[jimski2]

The “ political parasites” who operate the closed launch ramps have no imagination to do something to open the ramps to the public use! But then the only use is their pay checks are still coming in.

I sent the Town Supervisor an email 5 weeks ago... I was hoping to get a jump on it... We all knew it was coming...  Zero response.

I'm sure they didn't want anyone visiting Crosbys, topps or any establishments in town this summer. They must not need the business.

At least Sandy is officially closed. Yesterday I called Mayers Marina on I-Bay to ask if their launch was open and they said yes. So today I towed my boat to the marina only to find the place flooded without proper markings as to where the launch might be under all that water. So back home I went. It is a sad situation.

In their defence 

 

If the town were to get a crew down their to fix the launch , it would be deemed by some  to be diverting resources away from problem areas . In reality , that would be the case . 

 

If it were me who was waiting for help I would be mad  if the boat launch took priority .

Contractors or heaven help them volunteers could get er done.

Any fix need to be private money and labor 

 

The game plan : 

1:  Get approval 

2 : set up Gofundme account for Sandy creek pen project . Run it thru there . 

3 : Signs to mark drop off and turn around perimeter   . And one so users can donate . 

4 : Approach Lowe's to see if they can help out . There's a guy on here with connections . 

5 : Cones / flags to mark turn around perimeter .

6 : Tools : Generator , chop box  , drills and impacts . I have . Could use more drills drivers . 

7 : set date , have material on site  ,get crew , build and install .3 weeks should be enough time if this is move upon . Available for July Aug peak . 

 

If guys on here that use it kick in , and those that see sign at launch also , we should have all the money we need 

 

For selfish reasons I would rather see the ramp stay close so I can have the creek to myself for bass . But I'm willing to forgo that for my fishing brother .

How about just leave the road open? I've been using it right along.................

You cant get the Town of Hamlin to do jack!! I dont even think they leave their building during the work day. Biggest waste of tax money spent!
