Mexico Boat ramp closed

[thork9]

This was are king with social distancing and wearing masks, and this was in NYC

[hassellmania]

so they announced marinas will be opening  for personal use but still no charter boats

[sandwick50]

And says nothing about public launches either.  So, we can pay to launch at private marinas but can’t launch for free at public ones.  Makes a lot sense, doesn’t it?

[Timmy2bucks]

Recreation guidelines don't specifically say that boat launches are open, but do say "Parks and other open public spaces" are as long as social distancing can be practiced.  It seems that most public boat launches fit  this guideline.

Im sure this launch will open. Public un manned launches are included in this . 

[BigBrown]

Boat launches without barricades are presumed opened. Chatted with a family member who is State Park Police Officer. If you’re at a boat launch and an officer pulls up, they will talk to you about social distancing, ( hint hint-don’t take a boat load). Be responsible, respectful and don’t be “THAT GUY”. We fishermen and women are a friendly and social gang of people that enjoy our sport, you don’t have the right to give us a bad name or reputation. All trends and numbers are pointing in the right direction. As the saying goes 20% of the people cause 80% of the problems. Don’t be a 20% er !!!!

As of this past weekend, private AND public launches should be re-opening, per an article in the Syracuse news.  The state guys should thus be busy this week removing all the barriers they put up two weeks ago. Give a shout if you see the barriers removed from the Mexico and/or Pine Grove launches.

Barricades were still there as of 730pm tonight.

With Newburgh opening up, we’ve got to be in great shape along Lake Ontario. As soon as Mother Nature cancels 20-30 West winds, it’s “fish on”

[Offshore IV]

As said above, unless you have a 25+’ boat, it won’t matter. The wave forecast is abysmal 

[cweb325]

Any intel on the barricade status at Mexico or Pine Grove?

So I have to ask:  I watched a couple of guys drop a good size cuddly cabin off the trailer onto the concrete at waters edge Saturday morning  at about 9:40 am at the Mexico ramp.  They were taking up both lanes on the south side of the ramp, and were obviously having a mechanical problem with something.  The trailer was to the waters edge, but not into the water, and the safety chain was obviously not attached.  When whatever it was they were working on came loose, the boat rolled right off into inches of water, but not enough to float it.

 

Did anyone see how they either got it back onto the trailer or into the water?  It was too big a boat to just winch it back up onto the trailer without doing, even more, significant damage.  I had too leave and didn’t see the ending.

[Hachimo]

Ouch.  Thank god it wasnt me this time!

[Hachimo]

I just checked the time of a pic I took at the launch when I passed trou. I took it at 10:39am and they must of had it moved by then cause guys were launching. But that explains alot now.
