Syracuse.com - Oneida Lake bass angler's request for metal cleats on boat ramp at Oneida Shores is granted

[HuntingNY-News]

“I was going to bet you a pound of perch fillets that we wouldn’t get any dock cleats installed at Oneida Shores, but we got them last week,” the angler said.

I reported recently that Pat Magdziuk, of Cicero, was upset that Onondaga County parks staff at Oneida Shores had taken out the boat docks after Columbus Day.

Magdziuk said anglers continue to go out on Oneida to pursue bass and other fish for weeks afterward. He said the remaining ramp should at least have metal cleats on it so he could tie up his boat after being launched, or keep his craft tied up while he retrieves his trailer in the parking lot.

His wish was recently granted.

Magdziuk wrote me this week: “I was going to bet you a pound of perch fillets that we wouldn’t get any dock cleats installed at Oneida Shores, but we got them last week,” he said. “So thanks for putting the story in the paper and also thanks to Gary Lopez (park superintendent) at Oneida Shores.”
