Available launch ramps in November ??

 Looking for info on available launch ramps this time of year for a 21ft. bass boat. I know east ave. is open but the water depth there 3 weeks ago kept us from launching there, it was about a foot deep. Has the recent rain added enough depth to make it an option? If not, what is my best option to fish just outside the bay and east from there? Lampe is closed, correct? Thanks ahead of time for any info. God Bless..hock

    North East should still have the east dock in, but it's very shallow there too...not as bad as E.A. though.

    Yes, Lampe closes 10/31..How about Shades Beach?  Of course, I think most of the bay launches (I would assume)

    We took a 27' Sportcraft out of Marina Bay today. Docks are still in with plenty of water. H20 levels in/around the bay appear to be back to normal.

    I know nothing about East Ave. Sorry.
    The docks were removed from the Marina Bay launch this morning and we were still able to get our 29' PennYan out.

    I launched out of east ave this past Sunday 11/4.. No issues but my boat is only 17 foot. I tried chestnut but the ramp was loaded with drift wood and lots of seaweed.

    Sorry but not sure how deep it was. I didn't hit my prop and didn't even consider water depth being an issue....

    Deep V.  It was my last run of the year and did very well on Perch in the bay.  With the forecast for this weekend I wish I didn't put her to bed yet!  Good luck Hock!
