I talked to the CB marina. The ramp is "open". He said there really isn’t much snow on the ramp, but that i should have a shovel just in case (how comforting). The bridge has between 10-11 feet of clearance. He said the creek wasn’t frozen at all, but there is about 15 feet of ice going from the ramp towards the creek in the section where you launch the boat. I asked how thick and he said he guessed it was 2-4 inches. Told me i should bring a sledge hammer or something to bust it up and then it would be fine.

His words were, "if you really want to fish, then you can make it. Just might take some work".

..... Just passing on what he told me

Terp - I was thinking the same thing. All we need to do is be the second guy at the ramp!

Steve - Sadly enough, i think all the guys i fish with could use the exercise... What is the "wind" you speak of??

Hey, I think we passed you at the ramp. We were in the sea hunt dual console. Not sure how you did. We didnt catch a thing. Didnt even really mark anything. I almost waved you over to tell you, but figured if it was me, i would still go. But i would just be less excited. haha

Hope they showed up for you.

The bridge is listed in charts at 10 feet vertical clearance. Tides have been on the low side all week and I would expect that to continue as long as the wind keeps blowing from the W/NW as it is forcast for the next couple days.
The ramp at Tri-State marina in Deale is open.....puts you out in the same part of the Bay and no bridges to worry about.

Graham, Just get Josh in the front of the boat and let him sling that 5lb sledge around he needs the work out being laded up all last year. Good luck if you make it out but they are calling for the wind to blow tomorrow. I know I’m ready to get back on the water.
