Dlnr fish reports which are public domain ,would show how vital a ramp it was for fishing
Both sport and commercial. I know many boats that went out of there every week. I have heard of many boats that fished out of there,now dont fish at all. Because its to far and costs to much in gas to get down there ,most of the palu ahi and ahi trolling starts there and continues to south point.
A lot of locally consumed fish , was from that ramp. Many fisherma had there own fads ( fish attracting device) 20 to 50 miles offshore. Those fads brought many thousands of pounds a week to the east side,as well as the income to the local economy. Thats all gone now.
Ad the cost to get there ,with the lower price to fisherman today, its not economical.
Ah sand at the ramp. 2 week of 10 to 15 ft surf will remove it. The administration wants a swim beach to negate the liability.How many millions have been paid out to mangled and killed swimmers to date injured at the ramp that sued the county?
How about a new launch ramp in old vacation land.
Federally paid 20 mil +. Is that part of the new 335 mil disaster monies to just the big island,
Proposed today, .8 billion disaster funding. 20 mil for enforcement of lava zone till
2020

Whats your take?
We have 22 mil into the pohiki ramp to date. How about 100 punatics with shovels to make
A ditch,than let nature clear the rest. We used to clear the Kawaihae launch ramp every
Year . Put a big boat on the ramp,twin screws, 1/2 throttle. We even had the fire dept truck come down and let us use there fire hose to blast the sand under awter to clear the ramp. It can be done.
