I'm probably going to take Friday off from work to do some fishing. I'm thinking about going out of either St. Marks or Shellpoint. Any recommendations of one over the other? I haven't gone out of Shellpoint before so I'm kind of leaning towards it (the exploring a new place and all). I'll mostly be fishing shallow.

I m taking friday off too....I m wondering about bottoms...how is putting in there and getting out ?

Friday afternoon for me.

How big a boat?

Its a pretty flat grade on the ramp, you tend to have to get your truck wheels wet. I've never put in anything but duck boats and jons there. We determined over the years that a 0.6 tide, if the wind wasnt out of the N or NE, we could hunt, but the ramp will go dry if you get much lower.

16' flats boat with a 40hp. what do ya think.....

You should have no problem with the predicted high tide, you WILL have to get the truck wet to load or unload!!

Wow - 4.18! You dont see that too often.

I have never had my vehicle messed with down there, but it is secluded, and it has crossed my mind before.

I've never had anyone mess with mine and I've put in there with a rough lookin crowd partying like crazy around midnight most folks around there are hard working and honest folks they just look a bit on the rough side

there is no boat ramp at shell point they closed the ramp january 30 becuase they are building condos were the ramp was.

Don't worry, the ramp at Shell Point will be reopened. A customer of mine is doing the sea wall const. and the boat ramp as well. Be patient, they will have it open someday....

I hope it reopens soon. I've got a friend who has a place less than 1/4 mile from there that I can leave my trailer at (he's also got a dock I can tie up to:D).

there is a ramp at shell pt., its just in oyster bay, if you would like directions please message me
