Juniper Ramp - $10.00 ? Plus the owner is a real jerk. No thanks. Last week we launched at Red Wood lodge. There were at least 5 guides on the water. Maybe Uncle Gus is open.

It really tore Harbor Master up bad. Lost his house , the store and all. We started a GOfundme account for Rusty. Just look up Harbor Master on Facebook. They are really good people , and deserve it

Drove across the bridge yesterday and there were several boats on the water. Not sure where they launched. Picnic tables still mostly underwater at the park by the dam.

Juniper cove ramp is open but prepare to pay $15. He said the additional $5 is a surcharge for ramp repairs. Pretty sure his ramp was just as bad before the flood but whatever. Gouging until other ramps open maybe.

True that! Juniper Cove hasn't spent a dime on any ramp repairs in many years!

No that's right. Website still says fishing barge , ships store is open. No bait , nothing . Poor people who come down to rent those cabins thinking it is all good. LOL. Complain about anything , and out you go !

Stopped by the McCown Park Gate yesterday. They said they are just waiting on the roads to dry out, that maybe the ramp would be open by the weekend.

Re: Whitney still closed? - 07/12/16 03:16 PM

Anyone launched at Harbormaster lately?
Posted By: marschall

Re: Whitney still closed? - 07/12/16 08:04 PM

Rusty told me it would be open Monday , the last time I was there checking on my slip , and that was last Friday. Better to call anyway to make sure.

You are right about Juniper Cove gouging people. $15.00 is absolutely ridiculous. I hope nobody uses that ramp.

Re: Whitney still closed? - 07/16/16 09:16 AM

Our neighbor at the lake house said the fishing barge is now open. Only $10.00 to fish ! So $15.00 to enter at the gate , $10.00 to fish. Wow what a man. Total Jerk , and everyone on the lake knows it.
