King Harbor Boat Ramp Meeting - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

jorluivil · 02-27-2016, 07:06 PM

Jim, today at our post fishing lunch get together we were talking about this and were wondering about the following.

What will happen to the hand launch?

Will the lagoon be accessible to use as a launch site?

Parking fees; is the fee structure going to change for everyone. Basically, will it cost a kayaker the same as a boater to park and launch?

"What will happen to the hand launch?"
It looks like the docks will be removed and the lagoon will be open to the harbor. SUP's and Kayaks will be able to launch from the sand...much like Mother's beach in Dana.
It seems to depend on where they locate the ramp as to if a hand launch is incorporated or not. I asked about it and I'll continue to ask at each meeting.

"Will the lagoon be accessible to use as a launch site?"
It seems like that is the city's intention.
These public meetings are focused on the boat ramps and the city didn't really want to get off track but I'll try and get an answer at the next meeting.

This answer to this question is too far off in the future...if the latest parking fee changes last year are an example of the City's intent to make money...I guess we'll keep getting screwed...The validations at the Sportfishing Pier or Captain Kidds will probably continue to be the best way to go.
