Sounds like you guys make some great trips, would love to get some of the details on them so that I can venture out a little more. Belle Mare resident.
Lake Saint Clair Peeps
- Thread starter Ezsteps
- Start date
That sounds like it might work out. Where are you docked the 6/30 weekend?
I was at belle maer for 3 years….. we did a lot of anchoring out….. that started to get a bit old. Then a buddy convinced me to take the trip to PIB….. we did that for one summer. Then decided to move the boat to Erie. Lots of towns to visit and explore.
You would be surprised how many Michigan people drive to their boat in Erie
Now we vacation back up in St Clair at NCYC and Algonac harbor club
Love both areas
If you need any info on Erie let me know

isn't PIB in the lake Huron? I am wanting to take a trip to Erie but haven't found a group to go yet. seems like that lake is a little more temperamental than Huron, I could be wrong since I have not been. I do like that Algonac harbor club.

PIB (Put-In-Bay) is near Cedar Point.
Check with your nearby dock residents. I'm sure someone will be running down during the summer at some point. I have a group in G row that does a trip every year. They skipped PIB last year and did Lexington.

Hello all and I keep my boat at MacRay and just purchased a dinghy and need to rent a trailer to bring it home and put motor on it and then get it to the launch.
Any suggestions short of having to buy a trailer?
Thank you

You guys went a little flag happy at the entrance

Boat under contract as of yesterday. Buyers want to survey it on the 26th and I'm scheduled to launch April 30th. Broker is trying to work that detail out. The 26th is booked for launches.
And.... I don't have a replacement lined up. It'll be a 30+ foot center console of some sort.

Seems like a bit of dredging around a few areas earlier, MacRay, cabana blue canal, I’m sure there a few others but just wondering what is going to be everyone’s area of choice for restaurants/bars this year.
Bumpers and crews nest is always a good option.

Crews Inn?….. I was just there by car the other day. Will stop by this summer with the boat. Same with Cabana Blue, school house, island grill and browns

Yes crews Inn, sorry Tom, wasn’t sure on depths to get into the others you mentioned,
Oh didn’t think you were taking the big boat around.
depths are down this year so you are going to have to be careful.
cabana blue - I’ve heard you need to go around back
island grill - I have taken my boat there many times but again this years water levels are lower
browns has limited dockage for a 50’
school house - you need a dinghy to get back in there
Jefferson beach marina you have two restaurants back in there…. Watermark in the back and Hook now up front…haven’t been there since changed names

Sorry I should of stated that before but now that we have the dinghy I know we will go to a place or two with that, Joe said he had a spot close to marina that is perfect for smaller boats to get into.
I do think it’s going to be a rough year for lots of boaters getting into places or traveling around where they have in previous years with the low water, not even sure people will get into little moot.
Thanks again

I think I'll be playing it by ear. See what everyone is saying once more boats are in and venturing out. Big Moot is a place that I'm thinking, but it can be rough if some boats are still trying to get into Little Moot. Might just have to save fuel and go to Poormans.

I think that’s going to be my plan as well Joe.
By the way your boat is looking good all cleaned up and painted
