Boat Ramp Lighting

[waterpossum]

I have done a bit of night fishing this summer, mostly out of State park and Ruark.  Ruark has a great light for loading and unloading as does State Park. From what I can see Hawker and Cedar Ridge at the park looks illuminated pretty good. Any info on other launch ramps i.e. Crabtree, High Point Orleans Trail, CC, Old State Park, Mutton North and South?

Mutton Creek south isn't very well lit. It's not lit at all when the hoodlums steal the battery for the light.

To be honest I only try to put in at night at state park or Crabtree  after my truck window was busted out back in 06 at cedar ridge. I really wish the "states" had the $$$ to install security booths at certain ramps at night/day so u could not worry when your enjoying the lake. 

Sorry for hijacking ur post.....

You and I have fished the Friday nighters out of State Park for the last few months so I guess we have seen a lot of water. Most of the summer I was running into the Big Sac arm sometimes as far as Ruark. It can get kind of spooky on Stockton in the dark, but there is just enough focal points to navigate the water. Still freaks me a little when approaching the bridges

I agree, but it was nice with the full moon last Friday night. Im real good with Stockton at night but my partner (the boater) is not so it was tricky at times. I've not put in much down at Ruark so I'm not sure of the lighting (or how safe the truck is) but ur right it is nice to launch close to where u want to fish when ur not tournament fishing! Good luck the rest of the year!

That Friday Nighter is a lot of fun. A great bunch of guys that obviously know how to fish better than me. The cloud cover obstructed the water some, but shone thru while we were fishing over by Masters just long enough so we could watch a deer paddle across a cove we were fishing. May see you somewhere on the lake this fall. I have the  gray 19' Tracker with 90 hp Mercury. Good fishing to you also.
