Catabwa launch

[pimplepounder]

Hey there Gang. I've been out chasing whitetails so I have been away from the forum for a bit. Just wondering if anyone had some info regarding the Catabwa launch. I realize that docks may not be there. Thanks for any info!

Catawba ramps are closed (supposedly) until Dec 1st. There is currently a bunch of heavy equipment in place and a temporary wall to keep the water out while the ramps are being replaced. Given the amount of work being done, I have my doubts if it will be complete by Dec 1, but anything is possible.

I saw a load of concrete insulating tarp being delivered today. I also saw them getting another rerod ready for concrete looks like some concrete will be poured soon.

I took this photo on November 5th....they hadn't poured the concrete yet. Now, with this cold...who knows when it will get done.

Looking at that pic there is no way it will be finished any time soon! I’d hope it would be done by spring!

Stop buy Thursday talked to a worker he said 1-2 weeks before pilings are puled they have to move barge from another job. From the top of the ramp to blacktop was poured and covered.

Hey, that sounds promising! I know good hard ice is good for the Spring hatch but I would just as well fish from my boat than on hard water. Catabwa launch works real good for me in the early and late seasons with my rig. Thanks for the updates.

Poured and covered? Did they make the turnaround area concrete rather than asphalt?
