Deep water boat ramps

With the current low water and continued westerly and southerly winds forcasted I am in need of a ramp that gives deep water access to lake erie.
I typically use Metzger marsh, or mienkes or sometimes go to catawba state park, or cullen park. Mienkes, Metzger marsh, and cullen park may well be to shallow, does anyone have any good info on other ramps within 25-35 miles of toledo area. I have a 22' Islander with I/O so I need 3' of water to safely make it out to the lake. Thanks in advance.

Try wild wings or Fenwick off 2

Boils Harbor in monroe, Michigan is always a good choice!
Best ramps in the area one of my favorites!

I used Boiles harbor many years ago, they began having shallow water problems and I stopped going. Read about some shallow issues just a short time back. have these been corrected? Is there any tricks to staying in deep water when comming and going out? Thanks for your input.

Wild Wings

Today we managed to get out of Fenwick with the big boats but it wasnt pretty.
Going out this morning rite at the cut by the channel marker lights it came up to 1.8 ft on the sand bar hump. Just creeped out going in and out of gear. Didnt hit going out and when I came in I kept it up on plane well passed the hump. May be better farther east towards West Harbor area. This fall the water table is holding a foot low without wind, then the wind from the west factor just makes it a guess if you make it out or not. West winds today 3-5 ft waves then switched north this afternoon. Didnt here about north winds today, rain thunder and nasty clouds pushed us off the water. Moderated action for walleye and perch today.

Thanks B can man, I assume they have a public ramp there from your suggestion, I have been by there many times but never inside the place.
From yours and others who have suggested them, can I assume they have deep water passage all the way to the lake? Thanks

Bolles is closed until November for renovation (much needed)

Has anyone used wild wings or Cullen park in recent days to know if there is ample water to make it out to the lake? Thanks in advance

Thanks a bunch!

we went out of wild wings today, now the boat iwe went on is docked there not launched there every time out. As far as the channel plenty of water nothing less than 4 to 5 feet in the channel. Now the exit from the channel from talking to a guy who pulled a t 26 foot boot said he touched a little mud.

I have heard the ramp there as a big drop off if you back the trailer in too far. Which with the dropping water just forces all the back further down the ramp. This drop makes it hard for some ppl to pull the trailer back up over the lip with the boat on the trailer. I do not know if it is that way on both sides or not. I have never used the ramp for anything beside jet skis, but talking to ppl who have that is what i heard.

some where off of 163 outside of port clinton between the city and rt 2 is a state launch ramp too. never been down it but have seen alot 32 and 36 footers make there way back the drive to it. so i would guess it would have some water maybe? maybe someone else can answer that. it is about 15 mins from wild wings

Thanks for all the replys, most of the public ramps are having problems from people I have spoken to, if the ramp is deep enough then you have trouble getting out to the lake, if they have enough water to get to the lake then the ramp becomes a problem. Sure hate to give up fishin this early just because you can't find deep enough water to float your boat. Has anyone used Catawba state park ? I do know Mienkes and Metzgers marsh have shallow problems getting into the lake. Have not heard from anyone using Cullen park, I know they dredged the new channel but are the ramps deep enough to launch? I know many boaters will be looking for deep water places in the upcoming weeks so please keep us posted, Thanks again

I've used both Catawba and Mazurik and both were at 3-4 ft. It is low for sure but definitely able to launch.

Have used catawba many times but not familiar with mazurik, where might that on be? Thanks

Mazurik is located out in Lakeside/Marblehead off of rt163 to North Shore. So, it's a bit further east. It's a nice public ramp though and right out to the lake quickly. I go there if I am heading towards Kelleys.
