Dothan Bassmasters 2007 - October - Lay Lake

We have a couple of reports on the lake and ramp conditions. The lake is about 3' below full pool. This should not cause problems running if you stay in the boat channels. Some of the landings are questionable. Leroy made a trip up there and gave an excellent report on every landing he could find. I wish I was able to give his report as good as he did but I was a little under the spirit when he was reporting to me. I am sure he will enter a comment here if I get it too wrong.

The two most usable ramps are the one close to the dam at the very south end of the lake and the landing at Beeswax creek a little above the mid-lake area. Leroy reported that the docks at all landings were 4 to 5 feet above the water. There is another landing that he did not find, I think it is called Paradise Point? We will try to check it this Friday.

The following was added from Leroy:

The public landing (just above the narrows)has a double wide (side-by-side with no divider) ramp. There is a hole in the concrete (below the water level) with a large piece of concrete beyond the whole. Putting in there would be very tricky especially in the morning before daylight--even then only one boat at a time could be launched.


Max Adams is looking for a partner. Call him!

The only confirmed teams that I have at this point are:
Larry & Freddie
Bennie & Gary
Rex & Chris
Leroy & JJ
Jess & Matt
Dick & Don
Eddie & Ricky
Dwan & Gill


Should be a great trip. We will vote Friday evening at the hotel for the landing. THINK BEESWAX.

Paridise Point is located between Okamo and Beeswax (west side of lake)just off County Road 28. It is approx. 27 miles from the hotel. By water, it is approx. 5 miles north of Okamo and approx. 3.5 South of Beeswax. This is a relatively new facility (not on my old map) and probably has floating dock (a plus). I understand that this landing is used by BASS.
