What boat ramp do you like to use?

I'm starting to fish texoma more and so far I have used the Juniper West ramp. It's a OK ramp as long as the wind is not out of the north. Juniper is the closest ramp (I think) coming from F.W. So I was wondering if it was worth the extra 30 - 45 min of trailering time to go to another ramp?

No- We used to launch at Highport but it was about an extra 30-45 min drive and only 10min or so on the water. JP is only $1.50 to launch for me so you really can't beat that.

Hey Holzer -- in the winter time when we are fishing that end of the lake we use Cedar Bayou. This time of year I fish mid-lake so I use Highport, Little Mineral or Light House.

Highport is best ramp with courtesy dock and great parking -- got to be in and out early to miss the party crowd.

Little Mineral ramp SUCKs = high water washed out the blacktop so lot of gravel and sand. The dock is not boat friendly as it has left large gouges in several boats that I know of...including mine. Just pull up on the down wind side.

Light House ramp is narrow, but good, no dock but does have some sandy area to beach the boat - after you miss the rocks. Parking is good but a little walk.

See ya on the water...

I usually use Juniper, but I usually camp when I go. I am trying to find a reasonably priced campground somwhere more to the east though. I seem to fish more to the east and when I camp at Juniper I really go through the gas getting to the fishing grounds.

Holz,You might look @ Cedar Mills as a possible launch. It's right off 377 before you get to Juniper. It's got good water break, nice fish cleaning station, and may be just a tad closer to the main lake than Juniper. Doesn't matter anyway with the fuel economy you get outta your boat right!!!! I'm goin' up friday evening, give me a shout...

Thanks all for the input. I'm going try that Cedar Mills ramp out. I've been to Highport a couple times and it is a nice ramp. But by water, from 377 to the lisland it's like a 5 - 7 min trot. Just doesn't make it worth spending another 30 - 45 min on the road to use a ramp that I can be at in 7 min traveling by water.

CCstriper, Good hearing from ya. I can't make it to the lake until Monday. Let me know how you do.

I use Cedar Mills alot but it can be challenging to launch. The top of the ramp is at the top of a slope so as you are backing to the ramp you can hardly see it (the ramp) (in my vehicle anyway) then the curve ball, the ramp is going in a different direction than the road leading to it. However, the dock is nice and it has a cleaning station too. I've caught alot of shad there as well. Juniper Point is a better ramp in my opinion but is much further west than Cedar Mills.

big mineral is nice too...google there name and check out the facility!

We'll be using Eisenhower tomorrow.

But usually, I hit JP for convenience. I have used Cedar Mills as well...didn't have any issues. Good restaurant there too.

Cainey creek is a good ramp with a nice campground, also a free ramp if you are just taking your boat.

man it nice to have a private ramp.
