I need some advice on the best boat ramp around there. My concern is the depths this time of year. I've launched from Lute"s once before and had no problems. Should I have any concerns launching there or at the 2004 bridge? Thanks for y'alls help. Merry Christmas to all! and God bless.

Thanks guys. I'm a new boater. I've ran into mud a few times and really don't like it, lol. I have an 18ft bay boat with 12in draft, but with engine and all I think I hit bottom closer to 18in. I'm comfortable in 2ft of water. Thanks for the help and thanks for the welcome.

Lutes can be tricky in the winter. Go to 2004 and lauch, but buy your beer, ice and other goodies at Lutes. They are good people.
I remember one cold December morning, castaway300 and I had to push the boat off the trailer at FM 2004 (not enough ramp or water). We were able to jack the motor up and slowy ease out.

He did mark a place on the fenders and tires as I guess old habits are hard to kick.
Winter time it would be nice for Barb and Cody to get the lift working again and not hassle with the ramps."Nobody's so poor that somebody can't get rich screwing 'em."

Lutes does have friendly and good people there. I was there back in October and they were very helpful answering my questions I had about navigating the bayou and bay since it was my first time out in chocolate. I usually fish with my wife and daughter or my elderly Dad and Uncle, so I try to find places where all they have to do is back the trailer for me. We love to fish, so winter doesn't stop us. I learning the winter weather brings the shallow water. Thanks for all y'alls help. Like I said, we love to fish, which we do well, but catching is another story. LOL
