. . . just a photo I figured I'd take and share of the ramp at high tide. I have never seen the water so high before and this was just an ordinary day. I had the motorcycle out on Saturday as it was pretty nice out and took my GF to Plum Island and actually saw a few people plugging for, something. Saw a guy get pulled up by his stunt kite, about 15 feet in the air and deposited onto the sand, was pretty funny, then the kite made it into the water, guy fished it out and the strings were all tangled, poor guy.

That must have been funny.:bl2:

The funnier thing is that it is Jan 8th and there is no snow banks

I finally got to see what the water looked like from the Hilton Side/that end of Plum Island on the way out/in. Kids were in the water and in bathing suits on the sand there, so odd for January for sure. I feel so bad that I have missed fishing in January and December with all this nice weather but who could have known it would be like this out.

i wish you had a picture(s) of the kite disaster instead of an empty boat ramp....:jester: :jester: :jester:

nice,
good day for it we went down to walliston beach for the day. the tide is so high 'cause the moon.
many a night launched from that ramp for some big fish up on the flats.
looks like a ghost town.. no wake all the way to the mouth :bo:

Beautiful day. I have seen the water higher there, however.

Those are floating docks so they must have taken them out for the winter to protect them from ice chunks that mgiht come down the river. Just thought some folks might have thought the docks were under water.

Great ramp. I use it all the time.

On a real big tide, that grass patch would have been under..

did you happen to see it this spring during the floods.... I pulled my boat and had it on dry land, I still thought it would float away!

Still nice pics... great day for this time of year, too bad the cod fishing was shut down... would have been a great fall to get a few.....
