I personally am interested in the Michigan side but feel free to post for the entire lake. Without a specific report it seems Trail Creek at Michigan City could not be used Between B&E and the launch? Is that correct? What about the New Buffalo ramp?

The ramp in New Buffalo is being dredged from the ramp all the way out to the harbor. Oselkas travel lift and pit are fully operational.
 
Cap Ray,
Thanks for the update. I hit some shallow area around the ramp late last year and was worried about what it would be like this spring.
 
I didnt realize the west side got hit by sandy,i know some here on the east side did,wonder how much there going to help out over here.
 
Grand Haven should be fine. Harbor is being dredged and they will look at ramps and do what is required.
 
On the west side of the lake, the ramps in Racine (just south of Reefpoint) and the ramp in Milwaukee (McKinley Marina) have plenty of water and are long ramps - if that helps.
