Not familiar with anything ramp wise past the 2 below.

Lower/Mid - Beeswax is the best ramp (Bassmaster Classic Ramp)
Paradise Point is ok

not much up river, I know of one ( Talledega Creek ) but you take a chance of things missing off your vehicle or your whole vehicle missing when you get back.

Going to try the mid section, never been there.

Deffinately Beeswax. It's a good ramp and got some GOOD Fishing with in a couple miles either way. Let me know and might could meet you there and show you around some. I'll ask my buddy about Hotels.

[BASS_N_TRUCKER]

Thanks, will be down there the night of march 2, will spend a couple of days then up to guntersville for a couple, been there fish a bass invitational with Larry Nixon and rowlen Martin about six years ago

As others have said, Beeswax is your best bet. I have stayed at a motel at exit 212, on I-65, one of the Clanton exits. It's the Guest House. Nice place, and they have some boat parking with outside electrical hookups. I'd say the motel is about 12-15 miles south of Beeswax ramp.

For sure Beeswax Creek launch. Look for hotels in either Alabaster or Childersburg. I would recommend that you consider staying in Childersburg and then fish Lay one day Logan Martin the next. Both are about the same drive time. I live 2 miles from Beeswax. Let me know if you have any questions.

Also look at the Hampton Inn in Calera.

Why pass Guntersville going to Lay?????

If you hear dueling Banjo's........RUN....

A freind went to G-ville today and had best 5 of 32+

[BASS_N_TRUCKER]

Thanks, will do that.

I would launch at Beeswax or Paradise Point. There are a few ramps around Shelby like Bozo's marina but they can be hard to find. Look for a hotel in Columbiana, AL(10 min). That would be your closest option. After that, Calera or Alabaster (20-30 min.). Remember that there isn't much on the east side of Lay lake. I was just up there after Christmas. The lake was a couple feet low but the jig bite was definitely on.

Thanks everyone, I will keep you all informed and maybe see you all down there. The Bullit probably will not be done so i will be in the orange gambler
