The cutoff ramp is still not open.  A CO told me they hope to have it open this week.  The machine is on site, but I haven't seen any evidence of dredging yet.  I doubt it will be this week.  I'll update on the other thread when I see it's opened.

Was t it mid June before they got it open last year?

[Revtro]

Not sure, but I remember it was pretty late.  I drove by there again last night.  Still no activity.  I wouldn't hold my breath for it being open any time soon.  Sucks because I HATE HATE HATE that stupid 9 Mile ramp and I'll be forced to use it soon until the cutoff ramp opens up.  Oh well.

I really don't care for the 9 mile ramp except it's location Having paid $31.00 and  purchasing the DNR sticker, parking and the long hike to and from   A local good ole boy wanting to make some money could ferry people back and forth on a golf cart for tips only and make some money but I guess the town of Clair Shores would want a cut Boat launch's should be free to all the tax payers, just ask any Good Ole Southern Boy Pay tax on the boat, trailer, sales tax on all equipment, license for the trailer, license for the boat, fishing license. But who says Life is Fair

Rangerman I am right there with ya.  I could not agree more.  I also believe cities shouldn't restrict access to public water.  I like the way it works on the West coast where no one is allowed to own the beachfront.  Seems more fair for a natural resource.  I resent St. Clair Shores not allowing non-residents to use their ramps.  I would be all for changing the laws about this.

Amen Brother Water is owned by the general public for use of all, I really don't like a DNR or State Wildlife Ramp fee BUT i can see it helps with rest rooms at the the landing and some of the up keep. Thirty-one dollars is not a deal breaker to launch at ANY DNR landing in MI, but the all the ramps should be open like Crocker 24/7/365   When the water gets hard up there y'all just come on down South and all NC Wildlife Ramps are Free 24/7/365 in the Great State of NC. we got lots of boat docks to fish but No Wells Sure Nuff LSC is one fine lake, just wish it was about 12 hour closer   Please let the town of Clair Shores know they should give a boater a ride to and from ramp on a golf cart free and a cold beer on the way at the price they charge   Yea I may use the 9 mile ramp some and pay the ranson  but not happy Still $31.00 SUCKS TO USE DNR RAMP FOR 6 DAYS PER YEAR, BUT CHEAPER THAN  $8.00 OR DAY.
