Did Murray ever open back up??? Just returned from Gaylord area and all waters we saw from Cadillac north were iced over. Shanties galore. Even though muskies are closed now i still want to break in the motor and run the sonar and gpson Murray. City of Muskegon is charging $55 annually for the use of its' four launches on Muskegon Lake's south shore. Muskegon Heights asks $60 for a non resident for Mona Lake's launch. Who maintains Murrays launches and why don't charge? I don't think I can wait til end of April. :?

Murray is open all the way around. Launch is maintained by DNR at no charge. Ramp on the west arm isn't in as of Tuesday.

All I want to do is take the boat out for a spin. Tuesday looks sunny. Fishing rods will stay home. Hope the ice stays away for good.

Anyone know if the West River Drive exit from 131 is still being worked on?
