I usually launch from the ramp, $10 is fair. It is close to the harbor entrance and usually not too busy.

I'm hoping to get out this Monday and possibly Tuesday if you want to meet. I usually head south but have been north as well.

I have never used the boat ramp. But I would be lying if I said I didn't wish I had every time im paddling back the whole length of the harbor to baby beach against the afternoon wind. Maybe one day.

I'll be out there Monday early early AM in a blue tandem Hobie if anyone wants to paddle out with us. Launching from the boat dock.

You might want to plan where you go based on wind forecasts. Particularly this time of year. You don't want to paddle against the wind coming back. So, fishing south might be a better option if the South wind is going to blow all day. Lots of reef to fish down there. They start at about where the state park ends and continue south off and on to the pier. Do a search for "barber pole" and there is a post where I give directions to the pipe. It fishes best with a light offshore. That way you drift along the Pipe instead of across it.
