    I launched at Bayport once earlier in the year when Hudson was full. It was a Saturday in May. I was expecting it to cost 30.00 for a weekend launch but it went up to 40.00. And that didn’t include parking either (onsite spots were full). Was supposed to pay the city to park in the City Park lot too.

    Hudson launch will be closed until Thursday or Friday due to high water.

    $40 to launch…too rich for me, good thing I can launch for free down here in the ghetto.

    Your a lucky man Onestout. The COVE launch kicks butt. -) Now you just have to find time to use it.

    Yeah that $40 bump at Beach House had me packin. It was my go to for 20 years, but that’s just too much. Even with the no wake area, Hudson is a bargain compared to that.
    I launch solo a lot and also not willing to walk back and forth from 4th St to the Public Park either.

    Hopefully that Oak Park Heights ramp gets done this year (fingers crossed). Every year they say “next year”. So right now I’m planning for next year. LOL

    Sturgeon activity should be picking up soon if it hasn’t already. I’ll be going out tomorrow evening for my first sturg trip of the fall.

    I don’t think water level is a huge impact for them in the Bayport area, with the minimal current down there and large main basin I don’t change anything for presentation.
