Advice On Ramps

[skipjack]

What ramps are the best options right now? How is Aunts Creek ramp looking?

[Jason Essary]

Im with skip. Looking to see if Aunts is open?

State park is open but I believe the dam road is closed... Sorry had to

Apparently Aunt's is closed for the rest of summer. Sorry guys

I know Mill Creek is open. Haven't been to Aunt's yet and hoping to hear a real answer from someone in the know too!

Define open. Are we talking it's open and functional, or just able to get in from the road or parking lot? If the latter, I understood people were using Mill as early as Friday last week, but under somewhat primitive conditions.

Sorry, I got the info second hand from a friend that said they put in at Mill Creek. I didn't ask anything about if it was from the ramp or some other spot. I would have thought it would have been part of the story. I texted, but he hasn't replied yet.

Tim, my info on Mill was second hand also. I was more curious what folks were considering open and functional. I chose the known quantity and put my barge in on the road going down to Schooner Creek's ramp. At least I knew where most of the trees were and did not have any big drop offs to consider. Shallow grade made for wet feet and knee deep water getting into the boat from the truck. Was a little concerned we might run out of road before it quit raining though.

My concern on parking lot and road launching is you had better remember what was under the water there so as not to back into, or worse, off of something. I've done it here, on the Mississippi up in IA and WI, and over the sides of ditches at the ramp in the back of Tebo at Truman. Except for the places I really knew well it always added something to the pucker factor.

Thats why this is the best fishing forum out there, thanks fellas. I can't wait to get down there next week, I probably won't go to Aunts because Techo always says there's nothing in that creek.
