Bill S Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 (edited) Hi Guys Wondering what the ramp is like at Tunks Park, Northbridge. I''m looking for a single man launching point into the Middle Harbour area. The map shows the ramp in a well protected spot, at the end of a bay. I checked the S/fish site but the piccy doesn''t display. Condition? Cement? Pay to park? Theft problems? Locked gates?

Guest bluecod Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Easy two-lane which has been upgraded a year or two ago when the Water board storage tunnel went in with the addition of the pontoon. No fees ...... yet! The run out from the ramp is a favourite spot for the Waterways boys to lie in wait so keep your speed to the posted limits.

Guest Jocool Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Normally I use THIS SITE to check out ramps as it gives a description. Unfortunately it doesn`t say mauch about Tunks park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Tunks Park is a great cement ramp to use Bill with ample parking, no meters, no gates and is generally safe. It is also well protected from most winds, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_s Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I agree that Tunks is a good ramp. Ample parking is true, except for when there is sporting events on the sports fields like there is on a lot of weekends. Then parking can be a problem.

AdamK Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Bill, tunks park must be one of the best ramps around. It is actually a 3 lane ramp. Initially was a 2 but has been upgraded to a 3 lane. Just be carefull with the 3rd lane as they haven''t poured concrete all the way back as it should have so there is a ditch. Try and use the 1st (next to pontoon) and the middle There are no parking gates/fees and ample parking in winter but in Summer it can be a pain as you may need to park on the main streets. there is also a fish cleaning facility.

Guest pedro Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Bill - Roseville is also good for the Harbour but you pay $6. I am not sure if its easier from your place though. I would think you would go in near Gladesville & just blast down the Harbour ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill S Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 Hi Peter Gladesville is my ramp of choice for access to the Parra. Just looking at a jump off point for the North Head area. The salmon are calling me :naughty: . Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pedro Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 You have the choice of driving in traffic over the harbour or sitting in your boat blasting down the harbour - easy one Bill :-rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill S Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hi Adam Most of the time I single man launch and prefer calmer waters to do it in. I need two bays to myself. One to land the boat , the other to sink the trailer and then hop in the boat and drive on. Guaranteed as soon as I land the boat , someone will back down the other ramp and screw up the game plan :wallbash: Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
