Very Low tides kill me because the ramp is so short I cannot get my bunks below the water without risking the trailer dropping off the back of the ramp. Most low tides are fine though. I just need one person to help generally.
The ramp is also more of a run to the fishing grounds. I would just rather launch at SPSP

I hear ya. Fortunately with my little bass boat I can launch ther even when the wind has blown all the water out of the creek AND it's low tide. Since I never venture much out of the river it works well for me. The furthest I've gone out was a little past the lighthouse and that was only twice; once to jig around the lighthouse and the other time to rescue my stranded neighbor in the middle of the night.
Getting back on the trailer is a breeze too. Dunk the trailer a little and drive the boat right on. Hop on the trailer tongue and never get my feet wet.
