why is it there are no rubber matts or something of the sort on the ramps ? i know i paid for a couple at least last yr. before i got a yearly pass. wouldnt the miss dept. of feesh n game go in conjunction with the c.o.e. to do some improvements if the right people were bugged about it ? i mean heck the single pole maffia got their way in one meeting !!
Why not just get you a hull protector and be done with it?
or just keep waiting on them rubber mats
Just put in reverse.
i aint gonna hurt my ol junker on those ramps, but with all the nice rig's i see just hard to figure out why they arent doing more to make it nice !!
get some waders and join the single pole mafia
i would myself but even with waders i can't get in any water more than 6 inches deep:)
:Rofl
One of those guys was found dead last week.Quote:

Why don't ours, heck our ramps are the most popular in the country during the spring. Is it a matter of funding or is it a matter that the people in the proper positions are not asking for the things we need?Quote:

Think it has more to do with "Districts", the Big 4 is in the Vicksburg District. Okatibee is in another district and they have docks.
We have a mat at Grenada Landing and also at Youngs landing but last year the water never got high enuff to use them. Most of our ramps now have rip raff all aound the ramp leaving you one option and that is to pull up on the concrete ramp, worse when fishing by yourself.
They need to do something......either remove part of the rip rap or put down some rubber mats
Rip rap or riff raff? ;) Prolly both huh?Quote:

I can't see why they have a dock on the lower lake at Sardis, but nothing on the upper. That seems a little crazy to me considering the amount of use the upper has.
While we're making a wish list, let's ask Santa for a few cleaning stations at Sardis and Butla too. I know Sardis has at least one at Clear Creek but I don't know of any on the North side of the lake. Teckville and either Beech or Engineer's Point would be a great place to start. My garbage can smells like Dahmer's basement in the springtime, help me out!!
And I am 100% with y'all on the rubber mats for Sardis and Butla too, they have them at the other lakes, why not these?
They built 2 brand new ramps at Sardis last year at Hwy 7 and Wyatt's crossing and neither have rubber mats or cleaning stations.
pats bluff gots a cleanin station , stinks to high heaven !! the one at the lower lake is the nicest one i have ever seen, got a grinder and everything!!
Okatibbee is in the Mobile District and we have floating piers on every landing. The piers are floating year round though where on the big four, they'd be sitting on dry land part of the year. I did put a keel guard on my boat for fishing the big four.
The way my aluminum boat is made....it would be difficult to put a keel guard on it.
They cant say its because of the amount of rise and fall on the lake either. Beaver has nice docks on their ramps and lake level can vary 30 feet.
Heck at SGP you can'y use but 1 side of the ramp there's a big rock pile you can't see on the other side(left) if your looking down the ramp.Not to hijack but where yall hearing about somebody drowning,I'm from around there and aint heard nothing.A guy did drown a few month's ago around redgrass but his truck overturned in the creek he was not fishing.
Wondering the same, have seen it mentions.ed on here a couple of times but heard nothing here local. Wader at Redgrass is what I saw hereQuote:
