The boat ramp you put in today is a great ramp. Well worth the $5 dollars, across the hwy 13 right behind Kimberling City Inn is free. As far as fishing and what you need. http://ozarkanglers.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=21079h, some really great info there. The maps on here are useful and will help out with spots to fish. I recommend going to fin & feather and buying a "structure graphics" map of the lake. Most the anglers on this forum are willing to help and wind is your friend.
