But in April would like to hit the Maumee Bay jig bite close to shore. I have no idea where to launch. I don’t really need a ramp. Just a place close to shore where I could assemble and put in. But a public or private launch would be OK too, if it’s not crowded. Any one have any suggestions? Thanks.
For Maumee River

Perrysburg - Maumee Bridge over the river there is a small ramp there many use in spring


For Maumee Bay

Collins Park - closest spot to Bay - also end of Wynn Road in Oregon , Ohio where it dead ends into Lake - Maumee Bay . Both free Ramps.
You should be able to Google Map both locations.

Use caution, your boat pretty small for fishing this area ,the lake conditions can change in minutes, many get into trouble each year
