I am thinking about trying to fish arkabutla and would like to know if the ramps are friendly to launching by yourself. Do they have chunk rocks lined on both sides of the ramp?
Getting tired of the high water launching problems on lakeview and have never fished arkabutla. :mad:
Great ramps launch by myself all the time.Quote:

Do you guys have keel guards to keep from damaging the bottom of the boat?
I have tended to stick to lakeview when fishing by myself because of the sand/gravel bank to park the boat. Plus as small as lakeview is it was a good spot to get started and learn how to push jigs since there are no skiers or jet skis.
No need for a keel guard, I have a tin boat!
Ok, thanks. I just need to bite the bullet and go to arkabutla or sardis.
Or get you a keel guard. - A hamby's. Best invention since the Edit button.

I have been a little reluctant to park the boat on the ramp with a lot of the people you run into on the ramps.
Yes I have a Keel Guard on mine.Quote:

You cant go wrong no matter which one you chose to put in at. They are all alot nicer than Lakeviews ramp for sure. Always a better crowd to be around when and if there is a crowd.
Hernando Point is the easiest one to get to from Memphis.
Hernando pt. is the nicest place to put in and smack dab in the middle of the lake.
