Morrisburg would be your closest place to put in. About 40-45 minutes down bank. The boat launch is literally right at the end of bank street/hwy 31. There's also an opening day tournament going on. Great fishing from Cornwall to Morrisburg.

There is a pike tournament that day that is always sold out, and I will tell you from experience that it's a really busy boat launch and your going to have to wait. If your looking to fish in long sault then you can launch your boat in Ingleside at Farran Park, Chrysler marina (on highway#2 in between morrisburg and ingleside) and I believe there is a marina right in the town of long sault.
Good luck

I went.
Spark plug broke on motor right out of the gate (somehow between getting it inspected on tues and sat morning) , may have blown bottom piston, broke sunglasses later on, super windy, kids complained whole time, electric motor battery died quickly, luckily have 15hp kicker, no fish, but all in all a great day.

Sounds like many of us had some problems. I went and got stuck in the mouth of the hoosic creek. My 75hp wouldn't start, finally ran on two cylinders and once it fired on all four I made the mad dash back to the boat ramp! Didn't get anything but we all got to hit the river with some friends.
The board showed 1st place at 12.1 lbs around 11am.
