| What kind of information are you looking for? If you are looking to join the Fishermans Road Fishing Club, you can pick up a membership at Pipe Express, Citgo station about 3 miles to the north of Fishermans Road. There are also forms right at the launch in a steel yellow tube at the bulletine board, fill out the tag put your money ($10 I believe) in the envelope and put it in the steel yellow tube marked memberships. I believe somebody normally is at the club house on Saturday mornings.
As far as the club goes every dollar that comes from memberships goes back into the facility. Since I joined a few years back, we installed new piers, built a fabulous club house for storing equipment and holding montly meetings, membership money paid for materials and the structure was built by club membership I believe. The rest room facilities are fantastic compared to other area launches. The parking lot was paved completely 2 years ago. Every year there is a raffle that all members participate in by selling raffle tickets, this is during the winter months. 1st Saturday in June is the yearly fishing contest/get together at the facilty. You get all this for $10 a year!!!! You will not find a better launch on Winnebago that you can be a member for $10. This launch remains free and on a Saturday morning you better get there early to get a spot. This is the last remaining free launch on Winnebago. Which leads me to say just last week I walked through the lot and found only a handfull of trailers that had Fishermans Road club stickers on them. I live down here in Racine but spend almost my whole summer fishing Winnebago on every off day I can, my in-laws own a summer cottage just to the north of Fishermans and let me tell you when I do fish Lake Geneva down here I pay $8 for every day that I launch there. I personally believe the club should charge for launching everyday, just to get money from those who choose only launch here because it is free. I know some guys that use to launch at Calumet (Pipe) until they started charging now they go to fishermans and still choose not to join. Just to show you if the city or counties use just some of the money and put it back into their boat launches they can really improve alot of them, instead the money is used else where !!! Fishermans Road Fishing Club shows what you can do with very little money and some volunteer work. Hope you join the club and I hope I answeared what you are looking for?
