Boat ramp under the skyway bridge

[Proline23]

Has anyone used the boat launch under the skyway brigde, near the Burlington lift bridge? If so how is to launch a boat and what is the ramp fee? Any help would be great thanks

Have not been there yet this year. Paid $12 bucks last year to launch. Launch is a single slip with most using right side in and left side out. It is not bad launching the boat. The only problem I had was loading the boat single handedly on a windy day with the winds coming across Hamilton Harbor. Fish are to the right in the spring and to the left in summer/fall. Big Browns coming out of there until the water hits 60 degrees. Most people fish for Salmon to the left from the Brown Apt's to the Point.

Thanks very much Rigger Rob I have not made it out to lake Ontario yet in my proline I was there in April in my Lund can't wait to hook into a few nice salmon this year...Have you been out fishing yet?

Only 6 outings, too much wind n' rain. Best salmon so far is 21lbs9oz near the bar. Currently fish around 60' of water in the morn and head to 150' as the sun comes up. North shore starts in June for me but July rocks. Water was 50 degrees coming out of the Niagara this week, usually it is 60. What a strange spring.
