Heard from a co-worker there's little to no snow cover anymore, so the snowmobiles are gonna stay home tomorrow.  Any opinions on which is better to drive out on?

I wouldn't try the van everest ramp, i've seen a couple trucks that had to get a wrecker to get off. Killkare is a good easy on /off ramp, also the georgia town beach ramp is being used by quite a few people

Thanks.  I would've thought the ramp at the town beach would be too steep.  Took the snowmobiles out from there last weekend.

went off the ramp at Georgia beach today but decided to go off at Killkare. The ramp at Georgia is icy and deep ruts in the snow at the base.  I did see a couple of people make it up the ramp though.  Had pretty good luck with the perch .I was moving around from between rock island and the buoy then went out closer to Burton in the deep water near the crowd  ;) Cleaned 20 nice 8 to 9 inch ones for dinner

Crazy, I did the same thing. I didn’t want to risk my truck on that ramp. Stayed in 30-40 fow and filled half a pail. Kids had a good time, so success all around
