Indian Point Access Closed

[Laney]

I went down to Indian Point to camp and fish for a few nights, but that just didn't work out very well. The Indian Point Marina will not let you luanch your boat there. The launch area is closed by the Corp and they will not let you lauch your boat. Talked to the Marina guy and asked if they let campers launch and he told me that no one could launch, so I left and came home. Cancelled my three remaining nights down there and came home. I know I could have gone to Moonshine Beach, and I did go to Aunts Creek for the afternoon, water really didn't look good in color, a brownish color to it. Did have one nice bass on in one of the cuts but it got off just before I was to lift it into the boat Had one other keeper follow the jig right up to the boat, but he never hit the bait at all.

They will let you launch if you are renting a slip from them ... I was there today and rented a slip for tomorrow night and asked ... was told I could launch but cannot leave the trailer there so will have to have someone with me to take the trailer elsewhere ... for us not an issue because we are at the Village at Indian Point ... so I'll launch my wife in the boat and then drive back to VIP with the trailer ... she'll boat around to pick me up there ... a bit of a pain but I understand with the water so high ... but otherwise you are correct ... no launching from IP Marina.

Interesting, we are new condo owners at The Village. I wish i was closer so i could let the fishermen who may want to rent our condo also use my slip/hoist. I would just need to park my boat/trailer somewhere to accomplish this. Good info and thanks for sharing. Just thinking of ways to help others. Be safe, good fishing.
