Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

8am?....i'll have been fishing for 2 hours by that time!

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

don't forget daylight savings this weekend, dawn isn't until 7:01 on the 20th

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

also does anybody know for sure if lee's will be open on the 20th? they're still closed now
state park launch will be difficult/impossible for larger boats/bunk trailers unless we get a bunch of rain, it was a real PITA today

nevermind: "The Marina is open March 15 through November 30."

it will be nice to launch somewhere there is water

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Hey guys lets shoot for 7 am start up time at lees marina

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Sounds great I'll be there with boat in tow.

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

So whats the plan guys? I know the usual meeting grounds of lees county but what time and so far the weather is showing rain even though its a week away. I just need to take out my boat lol.

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Hey mike start up time is 7 by the time we all get in water prob be 730

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Sounds like fun. I have a St Paddys day party to go to Sat evening so getting up in time for a 7:30 start Sunday morning may not be easy.

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Hopefully evreybody boat checks out with no problems and runs great gonna be intresting to see who can come up with what catch! I know a few guys got some new toys they wanna play with lets hope its a good day and evreyone gets out the bugs before the real fun starts, see ya guys sun

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Hopefully, Lee's Marina is open by the weekend. It was suppose to open Tuesday but as of today it's not. Concrete blocks and chains blocking the ramps...C'mon Morris County open your marina!!!!

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

We might have a problem, my buddy talked to lees county and they said on or around April 1st. The other problem is my 17ft will not be able to pop off my trailer at the state park! This sucks

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Their website says 3/15 and I just called and the recording says April 1st!

Everyone needs to call and email the park commission Executive director to complain. We pay taxes and their salaries!

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

That sucks...

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Ughhhhh what a pain!!! Suppose to be march 15 th Guys can never get their crap together same thing evrey year!!!! What do you guys wanna do...???? Gonna be tough with trout season striper and night bite startin soon gonna be tough to get evreyone together with so much going on

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

How about guys with bigger boats go to a marina and guys with smaller boats can use state?

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

I just emailed the Morris County Park Commission management team. Lets see what the response is. I encourage others to do the same, especially Morris County Residents, be sure to state that you are one. See below for what I wrote.

I know the ramp at Flash Marina is open and can launch the bigger boats problem is that there are only a handful of parking spots for trucks with trailers. Prospect Point Boat Yard North might be an option as well. Does Barnes Brothers have a ramp and parking?

Mr. Helmer,

I would like to express my disappoint regarding the delayed opening of Lees Marina. The website states that it opens March 15, I called the Lee's number to confirm and the recording said that they are planning on opening around April 1st! The lake has been unfrozen for weeks at this point.

There is a large group of us planning a fishing get together for this Sunday 3/20. Is there anyway to open up a ramp for the day?

Thank you,
YOUR NAME - Morris County Resident

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Do it at spruce for low water pike, maybe round valley? Or buy smaller boats next time lol

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

I'd be all over Spruce. Lots of free parking, and it's launchable. I've been launching off the beach next to the ramps.

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Im guessing spruce and valley would be an issue for the guys with the big boats since its hp restricted. Not a whole lot of choice in lakes without hp restrictions.

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Just took the ride over i dnt get these guys!!! Now weathers back to snow hah http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/...ps532zyxaf.jpg

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Im thinkin im gonna bail on this one maybe try valley or spruce for few hrs in mrng half day party boat special!!! We will try to put this thing together once lees opens up

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

I still haven't gotten a response from the commission. They are saying potential nor'easter! Now that would be a M&G

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

HA they changed the website!!! losers

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

I will be there with lots of liver-do not want to be a-hole with the herring again watching all the fun like last fall. Maybe I will bring a grill & a BASS-O-MATIC & make some pate out there for lunch.

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Yuma u wanna be the guy w the herring this time livers wont do anything other than catfish in spring. Cant get herring til 2nd week of april. Not much action til may w wipers this would be a panfish mostly deal w a hope of a surprise catch

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Thanks for the info Jimmy...I will be focus on the LL starting next week after finish up the winter work on my boat.

I will definitely head down to LH once the wipers start up so keep me posted.

Nothing crappy about pan fishing! I caught plenty of crappy on blades @ the fall M&G-IT KEPT ME FROM NAPPING.

Re: Anyone down for meet and greet
 

Got a response from the park commission. They apologized but didn't give a reason why they aren't open. They said they are trying to open for next Wednesday.
