I'm looking at doing somewhere tomorrow between Burwell and Glasgow. I have never been to Bruce, what's it like? Better ramp and parking like Glasgow? What's the cost?
Any thoughts on where the wind will be better tomorrow? Windfinder and Environment Canada forecast baffle me some. I'm 2 hours away so I want to know it's going to be nice!

Is there a public ramp at bruce? Nicer than Burwell?
Jasonstein99:
Just my H.O., but in calmer conditions, I prefer Bruce to Burwell. The channel is a bit narrower at the lake end but not an issue unless there a big SSE wind. The folks a North Erie Marina are very helpful. It is a single ramp and is often pretty lined-up on weekends - won’t be an issue mid-week. The parking is about a 2 minute walk from the ramp, but the folks at the marina shuttle you from their parking lot back to the ramp after you put your boat in and will always assist you with the launch if you’re by yourself. If you get back in there before the 8 pm closing time, they will also shuttle you back to your vehicle. The cost is $20, which seems to be the standard at most ramps now. I have been using Bruce for the first time this year and other than weekend crowds, no issues. They are the most attentive folks I have met thus far at any ramp in my life, not just on Lake Erie.

Thanks for the infoNope. Gotta clean ’em at home if you go there. The quarters are pretty close there. There is not a lot of room there for that sort of thing. It would be a wonderful thing though if they could manage it somehow.
Hoping for a quick response. How's it look off Burwell? Again, conflicting reports. Is the DerkD app working? Also, can anybody confirm how far out the mudline is after the rains we had...and now, what appears to be a north wind? Last tuesday, the sandline was to 38 dpw. I'm thinking mud after the rains.

Looks good to me
Yeah, had a sudden opening in my list of 'to dos'...thought I'd gamble. I think you were out since the rains though, no? IF so, do you remember how far out (depth of water) the mudline was? I'm thinking tomorrow may be a better day....and having an idea how far clear water is...makes a bit of a difference to yak scheduling.Everyone I know is off the water so I'm no help
