Hi,
I came up with this post as a way for us to learn about all the different ramps out there. Tell a little bit about a certain ramp; what you like about it, not like about it, where it's at, what you can get to, etc.
The ramps I'm familiar with are in the Ocean City area. I fish a 14' V-hull and have my kids with me so I take these into consideration when launching.
Kennedy Park in Somers Point. I like this because it can get you to different areas. It can get shallow at low tide, but it's not a problem for me with a 14' alum boat. I can launch and be in the channel in about 10 seconds. If it's too crowded, I can go over to Rainbow channel in about 3 min. If I am tired of getting pounded by the wakes, I can go about 1/4 mile to the no wake zone. If it's early morning, and I don't have the kids, I can take a 10 minute ride over to the inlet.
Corson's Inlet State Park. This is where I go on windy days. It's pretty protected expecially when the winds are comming in from the Ocean. It's close to the inlet, although in my boat I try not to get "into" the inlet. When I want the kids to have fun, I go to the bend where the inlet starts and it's always full of small blues. Last year, for the first time, I took a right out of the ramp and went up the intercoastal. Bad decision on a weekend. The channel was kind of narrow and some of the boats just blew through there.
That's the two ramps I use, but want to learn about others. If you have ramp info, including additions to these, post em.
