    Angry St Clair boat launch

    ? Where are you supposed to launch on the south side of the lake. The ramp at 9mile is closed and that I can understand but the DNR launch is plugged up with mud! How? I guess only option is to make the run? Just ranting a bit here. Drove across the state with a my first boat to fish here for the first time.

    Keep it on the down low please... Too much traffic may shut it down.

    I hear ya, but it is so close to some of my favorite areas to fish...knock on wood, I have never had an issue down there. Know the owner of the ramp and I've been going down there for years. It's not for the faint of heart. I take Jefferson all the way, only takes a few more minutes than 94 to outer drive.....

    Alter road is boring since they took the trailer park out. Definitely an interesting area.

    Had friends that lived there and a couple friends who had trailers there for their fish camps. Miss those days. Wish somebody would buy it and develop it into fish camp. However, it would be a hard sell to get people to come down there. Lots of good memories for me down there.
