Not much more disgruntling than snagging a lower end on rocks or a stump. http://www.usatoday.com/weather/drou...0/mississippi-... That sucks...our only problem here on the coast is launching at low tide on most ramps. I did find one in St Margaret's Bay that is actually better at low tide because of the slope of the ramp. This year I broke down and bought the Govt issued Tide book for the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. It supplements the tide clock I have mounted just inside the front door of the house. It should be on your GPS. |
