New user Posts: 3 (66.18.44.218) | I’m wondering what you guys think about Chester Frost boat ramp? We are new to boating, but we’ve noticed large pot holes at top of ramp and holes in ramp down close to water. Do they normally do any maintenance during these winter months? | ||

That ramp has continued to degrade and has had minimal repairs over the last 10-12 years that I lived here, close to the park. The entire recreational areas of CFP has really went down hill in that time frame. I’m not sure how the camp ground has faired, because I never go in there. | ||

Even if someone donated a million dollars to fix it they couldn't use it . only reason why camp ground gets improvement is because they charge specific fee to use it and that is why they can make improvements there. Makes absolutely no sense that it is this way. | ||

Just need to glide on the bunks, get off your $$s and winch the boat the last few inches. Edited by finbully 1/8/2021 3:17 PM | ||

If you guys want to watch a blast from the past video of the 86 classic on Chicky, click here. https://m.bassmaster.com/video/classic-xvi Check out the equipment used and pay attention to backgrounds to see if you recognize where the fish was caught. A little over eight pounds a day gets you $50K. Amazing how much the weights have grown. Bill Edited by Aries 181 1/9/2021 11:32 AM ----- 03 Aries 181 pushed by an 03 XR6 | ||
