Thank you all for the information. I will pass this along to my buddy. James the post as I remember it was close to this one but the person making the post talked about how he advised going with the all aluminum and no wood transom. Thanks again, steve

The City of Clinton replaced the ramp at 9th Ave. No. with great parking, four ramps and boat docks at the ramp. It looks nice and really works well. As for now this is the ramp that I would use. Tom Brown and myself have been working for two years trying to get the ramp at 25th Ave. No. repaired or replaced. There were permits required from the Iowa DNR and from the US Army Corps of Engineers. To help with the costs grant money from the State of Iowa was also applied for. The last two Clinton City Counsel meetings the Counsel has voted to let bids to replace the 25th Ave. No. ramp and add a boat dock. Hopefully we are looking at a new ramp that will be completed this fall.
If you use the 25th Ave. No. ramp the downstream side is very shallow and I would not use it. If you use the upstream side of the ramp do not back in very far as you will go off the concrete. When this happens the trailer frame will rest on the concrete and the wheels and fenders will hang up on the end of the ramp.
Let your Counsel Person know how nice the ramp is down on Riverfront Drive and encourage them to keep up the improvements with the other ramps. Steve Bromley

Thanks Eric,
This gives me a starting point. I like trying at least one new spot every time I go out so I will begin my search. Thanks again.

Eyehunter, Thank you for the reply.
Does anyone know where to buy any one eye baits?

Help, What is a One Eye spoon, where do you get them, and how do you fish it? I love fishing eyes with spoons.
