Apple launch dock status?
Does anyone know if the docks went in on either side yet?
Any status would be much appreciated.
Fish on!

Does anyone know if the giant hole is still there or has it been fillled?

I was going to check yesterday but ended up going south. I'm hoping they filled it!
Catch and serve with lemon.

Re: Apple launch dock status?
When I was there, the guys were working on the dock still, and it appeared that no work was done to the ramp.
I thought I heard this August was when repairs would start. I know the board has mixed feeling but the ramp condition is a disgrace at best. I'm done ruining my trailer on that side. And I'm done with the rude ramp users who lack respect.

Re: Apple launch dock status?
I have launched from here the last 15 years and it has never been 'OK' .... It has been mostly usable. I was hoping with the lower
water and now being 'State Owned' they would have repaired the in water part of the ramp. Maybe concrete slabs like I have seen
at some better launchs. We can only hope. Gonna do the maiden voyage tonight or Thursday. Will Post after

I am refering to the ramp on the right side of the building that has been usable for the last few year.. I am well aware of the State launch issues.
Thanks,

Marina ramp is fine. You should have zero problems there.

You can launch on the state side where the dock is in. You can take out on the marina side(much safer for boat and trailer). Wost case scenario if there is someone on duty for the marina it will cost you a fe bucks. Well with it.

Re: Apple launch dock status?
I swung in yesterday and took a peek. The ramp is still in rough condition. I believe the time-frame for repairs is set for August.?Running & Gunning wrote:Does anyone know if the giant hole is still there or has it been fillled?

Re: Apple launch dock status?
Howdy,
Launched the TUB last night at the state launch. Nice dock! The ramp still has the hole but with a slight angle of the trailer
I was able to find a spot to load it center on the trailer. The marina launch is not deep enough to load my boat without
backing my truck into the doors. This time of year with the lake levels I can use the marina but prefer the deeper launch.
