I am new to the forum, and also new to owning a boat! We have always bank fished, but we finally got our first boat, a 85' Mckee Craft 17.5ft... I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on places to put in that are good for a beginner. We will not have our gps until mid february, so we need ideas on easy places to navigate. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! We are hoping to take the boat out this weekend if the weather turns out to be okay.

Chocolate was what came to mind first... Then I started reading all of the reports of how easy it is to run aground or break a prop there! Makes me a little nervous since we do not have the GPS yet.. Is it hard to find your way around chocolate..? Obviously we will be putting along wherever we go because we do not know our way around anywhere, YET!

I agree with Lurefisher. Go to Lutes and use their launch if you're uncomfortable with launching at a public ramp. Ease up and down the bayou, respecting and slowing down for anglers. Should be a shorter driving time also getting on the water. jmo.

Get a good hotspot map and study Google maps and you can find your way around. Just take your time and be cautious and respectful of others and you will be OK.
