A little help please....... Lot's of boat ramps to keep an eye on, so if you have an observation or report that you think will help your fellow fisherman on a particular boat ramp, please send me an email to: fishingdestinguide@cox.net I am particularly looking for information about launching at the ramp, any hazards or other things to watch out for. You will get full credit for the report or any photos. Help a fellow fisherman out who is not familiar with your area and that will make it that much easier for you when you visit a new area. Thanks . . . . |
