    Default Area launches - When do they close for the season?

    Does anyone happen to know when the WNY launches will pull their docks & close for the season? SBH has closed on 10/15 in the past - is this the plan for this year? SP? Cattaraugus Creek? I did not get to fish much this summer, and I am hoping to extend my season, if possible...

    SP is Oct. 15 th. BUT sometimes they keep the launch ramp docks in longer. ??? Or sometimes maybe just one of the three. But there is no security or anyone to direct traffic.

    Most close 10/15 but Catt. state launch might leave a dock in same as SP., not sure about Hanover town launch, but you can sometimes launch without docks wearing boots if they don't block the ramps.(as stupid Erie basin does) Also I think the SBH might leave a dock in for the muskie guys into mid Nov. they have in the past. I have always said "if no ice on the lake, we should be allowed to launch, fish/use it"!

    I think Dunkirk harbor/launch is open all year. It used to be when the power plant was working & putting warm water into it.

    FYI, As of Sunday pm. 10/25/15 all launches still had docks at launch ramps (SBH, SP, & Catt) except Erie basin which is closed & blocked off. If the wind & waves ever stop go get some perch!

    SP still has 2 ramps/docks in. We went out last 3 nights to beat this weather system for some night Walleye fishing.
