ramp

most of the posts here are from Ohio. Could anyone tell me which are the best ramps to launch from, if I were to fish the west sister island area. I have fished there but it is a long run from Bolles Harbor always seems like I'm just asking for trouble running that far from shore.

mitch - I don't have any good info for you but I am looking for the same - fished Friday out of Luna Pier and it seems like all the boats were just on the Ohio side of the line. Tried the Michigan side with bouncers, Erie dearies, and a little trolling with spoons. ended up with 1 sheephead, 8 white bass, and one small walleye. I think Meinke Marina west is the closest ramp for a trip from Michigan, I think I will spring for the Ohio license and give that a try. any advice out there?
