PIB & Kelly's
 

We've talked to several people about a trip on Lake Erie and have wanted to do a trip with a group if anyone has a good date.

i am there just say when how about the end of the month ??? might be a little chilly but all of the ice should be gone by then

The end of March? I like your style Ed!

yea why not if it is above 50 on the 28th i am going it is my birthday and i want to be on the water if at all possible i have a coat :lolhit:

I was thinking sometime in July unless you guys are up for Memorial Day Weekend?

Got a event list going on here as well..

Dang Ed i can't get the boat out of storage until sometime in April!! :eek:

I know we talked about Memorial day weekend but I'm open to ideas if that doesn't work.

We usually make the trip in July. We did it last year the same weekend that the barge party was supposed to happen. The barge party is supposed to be a good time but was moved onshore last year due to weather I believe.

Looking at this one also! I like to hit at least one different place a year:drink:

i am up there every weekend so just tell me where and when

I would be in but I don't splash my boat until mid may.

Lets all get something going for the Sandusky Barge Party,
the first one starts june 26 2010. Check out the web site.
I know X T Dave is ready to party !

Baypoint Barge Blowout 2010......

Calandar says it is a full moon that night?

I'm in!

:party-smiley-020::boat::sport009::circle::Score-101010:

June 26 is the same weekend as Jobbienooner and I can't miss that one!!:evilb: Is there another date for the Baypoint blowout? he said that was the date for the first one.

I can host some boats at my camp 10.00 bucks a night Bay point is less than 1/4 mile from my place

Ok I just checked the site out looks like a blast! We could do the July 31 if anyone is interested.

Lets do all 3 of them, who cant make one
should make one of the other two or make
all 3 !
XT Dave you got the ball run with it. Im in
for what ever, Get Racegirl to bring her
banner.
Rick:ernaehrung004:

I'm up for PIB just about anytime. Usually up there about every other weekend.

june Barge party out for me, jobbie is a must. I think a memorial day run to the bay would be a good wkknd. there was a decent turnout last yr.

Ed you going to the pajama party?

I know we can go memorial day weekend or july barge party but jobbie is a must for us also. We've never been on Lake Erie so we want to go with a group that knows the area.:ernaehrung004:

How about Kelly's for the early bird in mid April?

i have only had my boat since the middle of August so you have to tell me what is going on up there all i need is a time and place and count me in :evilb:

there is really only one place to watch out for and that is the sand bar off bay point other than that i cant think of anything that would be a problem on a normal weekend you guys just let me know when you want to come up and i will be up there Ed

Pajama party is Mr. Ed's first bash of the year. Pretty much starts the bay up for the season. Have never attended but heard its a blast. I will def. be headed to the bay for sure for the memorial day weekend. lets get a time and place to put in as it gets closer

Ok Memorial day weekend is when we're heading up if someone could tell us the best place to meet and put the boat in, I think we'll bring the cruiser for this one. Lets start a list of those interested.

We use Catawba Island State Park to launch our 302. There is also Mazurik Public Access launch ramps as well. Those may work better for a cruiser. Either one is a short hop over to the islands. You can count me in for Memorial Day.

Mazurik you are on the lake in 2 minutes and is directly across from Kelly's. Catawba takes about 20 minutes or so to get out of the harbor and on to the lake also Dempsey's on the south side on the Sandusky Bay is another quick way to the water and is where the beaches are at Bay Point count me in ill be there Ed

Bruce this one is in my backyard, so I'll be there. I'll probably launch out of Sandusky. I'll most likely be coming with my Dad and family so I'll probably only be available to party one of the days I'm going to Cedar Point with them this weekend.

Irish, we stayed at the Cedar Point Marina one weekend last year and loved it. It was great being able to take our time and actually enjoy the park. Had breakfast and dinner at one of the hotels on the North end of the Point. I think they have a pool there as well, though it was too cold when we went.

We used to go every summer when I was a kid. My Dad wants to go back with sisters kids so they get the experience.

Are you sure you are thinking about Catawba? Its just around the corner from Sandusky directly on the lake (see map). Birdog used to launch his top gun there and we were up and goin within minutes.


Here is a link to the launch ramp in Sandusky. Its also a good spot. The parking lot is lit and patroled by the city police.

How is the launch downtown sandusky ?
thats were Im launching when we do the barge
party in june. Dawn get the banner ready !

I'm sure us "locals" will be around that weekend!

LOL - its ready :drink: I've help launch from the Sandusky launch ramp more than any other place. I like it. Its not real steep and there are plenty of docks for launching. We've never had to wait real long. I'm also comfortable leaving my car there and anybody who knows me will tell you, thats saying a lot :D

i was thinking about west harbor about how long it takes to get to the lake from the docks with all of the no wake zone i like Mazurik for kelly's and pib and Dempsey for the bay area / cedar point

Ed,

I dry racked my 29ol at Anchors Away on west harbor for eight years. The no wake is 10-15 min. but is great for warming the engine before blasting across the lake. It will also get you many thumbs-up, and time to finish that first drink...:drink:

and it will also get you a finger when you drag some guys fishing pole into the water when you catch it with your prop didnt do it on purpose but he couldnt move fast enough :party-smiley-004:

I like Catawba State Park, but it is extremely tight. Marblehead has a very nice launch as well, plus gives you a bit of a ride over. I can make it from Catawba to PIB in 10-15 min. Hopefully we all can all leave the same launch and ride over.
