    Rousseau Info about Access?

    Im thinking about tring out Rousseau this weekend. It looks like a long run to the lake from what I see on google earth so is there any ramps closer to the lake then Dunnellon? Also does the lake have alot of grass in it can yo do alot of flippin there?

    Thanks for the info. I have about decided to put in at Dunellon city ramp and run up to the lake stopping every now and then if anything looks good.

    The city ramp is best if you are new there, that way you can see the variety of places to fish on your way ou to the lake.

    The run all the way to the lake is plenty wide and clear of obstruction. Just stay in the middle, the rest is tree lined. Once to get closer to the lake there will start to be channel markers. Do not run outside of the channel markers. Alot of the wood in Rousseau is cypress and is still standing just under the surface, and does not give. Incedentally this also keeps there from being a lot of floaters like Rodman. Just stay in the channel and you will be plenty safe.

    ahhhhhhhh........sounds like home.......except we dont have any marked channel and we do get floaters from upstream floods ..........almost got one doing 50ish 2 weeks ago............my dad left there (rosseau) terrified about running around in his bay boat said I had never seen anything like it, but thats b/c he is a wuss...........they caught them on chug bugs and worms..........grass near the channel far down the lake from where they launched..............i think redsled is in his club and would know where they launched

    Happy Acres puts you in the thick of it with little distance to run. If you launch by the dam, be careful around the first few markers there seems to be something in the channel middle...not sure the number of the marker though. Literally one of the first few you come across.
