Title: Saratoga - Fitch Rd. Ramp
Post by: chessieman on Feb 19, 2024, 04:48 PM
I may be wrong, but I am of the opinion that the ramp opposite Fitch is intended for load and unload - NOT parking like the two fine young gentlemen who left their SUV's parked there this evening - and the one who told me to F-off- you Mother should have taught you manners. Yes, I hauled my sled around and managed to get it in the truck without getting run over on 9P - but this is an accident waiting to happen - a little courtesy and common sense would go a long way - once again, thoughtless anglers ruin it for the rest of us!

That's extremely annoying.  Hopefully, this doesn't become another access spot the lake of the past.
How much is out there off of Fitch rd? 

There has been ice on most of Saratoga, but I have rarely seen anybody on it (I've stopped checking honestly).

Thanks

there's 3-3 1/2" pretty solid, but I was only out 150 yds - lots of folks going on after 4PM, evening bite??

Can folks still park on the side of fitch and walk to the shore or did that get shut down?

More Ice than I would have expected.

I will cross my fingers  that it lasts long enough for me to try my luck (safely).

Thought I was the only one annoyed by their actions. It happened to me yesterday when I unloaded in the morning and was going to load my gear in the afternoon. It is dangerous enough just to walk across the road to access the lake at times.

Been fishing off fitch since I’m ten and you never parked on the lake side he woulda gotten knocked out if he told other people that he was in the wrong and he talks about minding your own business??
