Anyone fishing MA11 this weekend? I think we may try it in the morning, it looks like no restrictions....

Good luck to you and your family. My wife and I will be out for sure. Tup:

Not this weekend for us, but hopefully soon. The area 11 openers tend to be pretty good. Look forward to your report. Lars

I will see you all on the water

I'll be there in my boat and CommanderX will be there in his. Hopefully we can get the fish to cooperate.

Anybody have any updates on the dock/launch ramp situation at Pt.Defiance?

About the Pt Defiance launch, I was down picking up bait this morning and that mess was still there at the launch.

If they worked really hard they may have been able to clean it up by days end but it didn't look good to me.

How bad was the mess, any lanes look usable?

 

[blackmouth]

Two lanes and one float are useable. The area to turn your trailer is small due to a fence surrounding the construction area.

 

[RiverFishin]

Yeah, 1 float 2 lanes and not much room, and no bait in the water or fish that we could find, we didn't see a net fly either...checker said 3 fish by 1:30pm....and quite a few boats..

I have never seen it so dead at Pt Defiance. Those three fish were checked at the boat house and were caught by the old timers who sit on the bench outside of the store. The checker said they were mooching in Quartermaster.

The new ramps look complete, they just need to install the docks and clean up and pave the upper area. One thing I noticed is the new ramps are only about 3/4 as deep as the old ramps. I would think at a 0 or negative tide you would be into mud. We'll see.

I noticed that too, I was hoping they were longer than they looked...
