Braddocks Bay sand bar pics. No water !

[Rob]

Walked the point of land at the state marina out to the channel markers in the bay.

One pic is looking south into bay. The other pic is looking west towards manitou beach rd homes.

The old channel markers are in about 10 inches water and you can see old trolly line too.

No ice fishing this year!

I have been wanting to check that out, I figured that you could walk across the Bay with a short pair of boots. The bay will freeze fast.

I looked yesterday after work because I could see a lot of sand from the parkway. Not good! The ponds are going to be shot too. Oh well. THeres always the Finger lakes!

That place is near and dear to me, but I'm glad it's like that. Maybe it will have some time to rest from the crowds, and maybe those crowds will forget about it next season. Doubtful, but that place takes a beating!

That is amazing! I have been meaning to stop down there and check it out. Had my boat there this spring/summer and had to pull it early. Thanks for sharing those pictures! With only 12-inches of water, do you think the whole bay will have a chance of freezing 100% through this winter?

I grew up fishing there and the area ponds. They used to dredge it in the late 70's. I'm afraid if we have a hard winter there will be quite a winterkill. That place is shallow on a normal year, and the few deep spots can't support all the fish in that bay. Sad.

It isn't all doom and gloom...occasional periods of low water are necessary for reseeding of the marsh vegetation that supports abundant fish life. A steady water level isn't healthy for the environment. Whether that situation applies here, I don't know. Just trying to make lemonade...

Wife and I walked out last Monday... wearing only sneakers...

Note the house on the point ..Picture taken looking West

same house as first pic.... we were almost to the channel markers

In spring 2011, the water was up to the white rub rail on the dock...

If you ever wanted a boat ramp on your property now would be the time to put it in!
