Meredith ramp closed

Happy Gourmand · 02-28-2013, 05:51 PM

What happens if the weather stays warm and there are no ramps to remove the bobhouses? It doesn't look like many of them could be easily disassembled. And even if they are, if the ramps are not accessible, then what?

This is what we do when numb skulls ruin the ramps with trucks!!!! Sometimes alternate routes do not work so well either. Pics are from 2009 when fishing until april 1st was our goal. Missed it by a day or so. Glad "Bobhouse skimming is legal"

The Alton Bay ramp is about had it also and now that someone got stuck in the huge hole in front of the ramp and put a ton of sand on the ice, and the sun being as high as it is, it won't be long.
I am going to try and get mine off this weekend but it does'nt look promising.

Saw a few bob houses getting towed off at the Meridith ramp last night while I was eating at the Lago......(I had a gift card.) They were using snowmobiles and going at the ramp at an angle. Good luck to everyone. Temps in the low 40's most of the week.....

Ive got a very heavy 8x8 bob house - weighs over 2000# and after trying for 4 hours yesterday, shoveling a 30 foot area of 6 in of slush, and burning up my snowmobile belt, I was ready to give up. But this morning I lifted up the shack and slid 2 of those blue/red plastic kids sleds under the skis, nailed them on. I then tied a rope to the front of the plastic sleds and tied it off on the shack so the front tips of the sleds would be lifted up a bit to keep them from digging in. Finally, I split a 5 foot section of stove pipe (length wise) and wrapped it under the front edge of the shack to make a skid plate so it wouldnt dig into the slush. I fired up the Yamaha and much to my amazement it worked ! I pulled it a good 1/2 mile through some sketchy stuff near Trexler's - I'll try and post a picture -
