I really don't think they drop the lake 1 foot every time we have a major thunderstorm so there has to be more to it than that emoFish

There will be a 1 lane load-out disaster at cfp for any tournaments with the level this low. A heavier rain could make it managable. Midnight prediction is for 675.4. looks like a hard pull all day. Tips- Do not attempt to launch or load a tandem with a 2wd vehicle. They always get stuck. Do not load out with even 1 axle dropped off the edge of ramp, you will probably waste the axle pulling out. Be sure your winch strap will not break when winching the last 4-5 feet up on trailer(bring a come-along winch if you have one. Absolutely No power loading. Even a little.
. A crew, committee or volunteer should be there to assist in load out's and have a 4WD with straps and chains and a power winch. Hamilton County's answer to fixing the ramp is to put out the warning sign's to avoid liability. The very least they can do is close 2 lanes and have a mixer dump a load of gravel mix into the blow-out of one lane to help ease the pain and suffering of the law bidding taxpayer. Safety should come 1st but they just don't care. IMO.
