It will only apply if your Yak is on a trailer.jason_bray wrote:Recently just purchased a kayak. Just wondering if i was to launch from patterson lakes boat ramp fees would they still apply? Cheers :water:

Re: Just bought a kayak.
I think it is more of the trailer parking fee at some ramps they are concerned about, also you are not driving a car down the ramp. Some ramps you can slide a kayak in and others they want to charge you, trailer or not . eg fee for kayak regardless.smile0784 wrote:Arent you still launching a yak tho?
Keep in mind if you are getting a free launch give boaties a priority and dont fart about carrying your wheels back to car etc.

Re: Just bought a kayak.
as Keith said depends on the ramp ie Olivers hill in Frankston with a trailer you pay but car topped you don't -- Corinella they try to charge you to launch at the ramp even if you walk the kayak there with out a car ( that why kayakers use the ferry ramp down the other way )laneends wrote:I think it is more of the trailer parking fee at some ramps they are concerned about, also you are not driving a car down the ramp.

Warnett they with charge you to use the ramp to launch but not on the opposite side of the pier from the ramp on the beach even though we park our car and trailer in the ramp car park
it's a bit of learning who won'ts to sting us and for what - really if possible it's better for both kayakers and Boaties if we can launch away from the ramp - Boats have no option so launching off the beach where practical is not getting in there way -
it's a long time since I launched at Patto and I think I used a trailer with out getting charged but again I may have still been car topping it is quite a while ago

Re: Just bought a kayak.
At Werribee South, you can't (technically) drive your car to the ramp, unless you have a trailer.
The fee is more for parking as, there's nothing stopping you from launching and taking the car and trailer elsewhere. If it's busy, you may find that your bung plugs were loose.
Best way, read the signs, ALL OF THE SIGN, not just what you want to see. Make sure you understand it.
The above seems obvious, but, council's make a lot of money out of people who misread the signs. E.g. MCC = $14.5 million (net) all fines

Re: Just bought a kayak.
Then there trailers and registered boat trailers, and I think some ramps differentiate.
As mentioned earlier if you want advice as to kayak launch spots ask over at Vyak, someone will be able to help for specific spots.
