Schuman's is still closed?

Can a guy launch a bass boat under 35 yet?

not as of wednesday....maybe another week...maybe. Just be careful not to run your trailer off the end of the ramp cuz there is a 3-4 foot drop off.

Thanks for the update Hendo...was going to hit the big gals at least once more down near sbr before all the big glitter boats come out. Waiting to see what the expected rain does to water clairity.

Where is a functional ramp at?

there is none. I have been backing my boat down the bank.

Anyone been by the 35 ramp in the past day or two? Any thoughts when it will be launchable?

Launched my 18 ft alumacraft under 35 yesturday, I used the ramp. Water might be to low today.

I am going to try to fish Dunlap on Sunday morning if the ramp is open. I have a 19 foot bass boat. Does anyone think it will be ok to launch at the 35 bridge? Thanks for the help.

I heard its 1.5 feet low but the ramp is usable. I am also headed there Sunday with my 19 ft boat. Good luck to you.

Based on the current inflow, the refilling process to the prescribed level should take about a week and be reached by Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012. Hydroelectric crews have indicated Lake Dunlap will remain at a foot and a half below its normal pond level until work is completed on the dam. Crews estimated completion of repairs should occur around March 30, 2012.

Here's some photos I took this morning at Schumann's Beach.

how did the water look on that end of the lake?

To me it still looked a little murky, but I don't fish it a lot.

thanks

bet its crowded out there today!

Nope not bad at all. Fished from 11am to 3pm with only 2 or 3 other boats. Water is 60 degrees and very muddy from rains. Looks like chocolate milk. Got skunked out there today.
