Thread: Lake Freeman thoughts

I live in the area and have not fished either lake in 30 years and then it was at night for catfish. Anyone have recommendations for a boat ramp on either lake. I understand there are no public ramps on either lake.

On shafer I use the monon ramp, at the trailer park. Pretty good ramp.

I'd like to know what ramps are decent on freeman, been wanting to try it for smallmouth.

On freeman you can launch at Tall Timbers which I believe is $12 or at white oaks resort for $8 I believe. There is also dodge camp but don't know price. Blue water is free but is on the river portion between the lakes and can it fill up. I haven't had much luck for crappie on freeman but I work with a guy that claims to. I don't thinks its known as a great crappie lake. I have had better luck on Shafer and use the monon ramp.

At Dodge Camp the ramp is free (city owned) however the docks are owned by private person. So if you use a dock I think it was a $10 dollar fee.

Where are Dodge Camp and Monon ramps located.

forget the crappie. launch bluewater and fish the eyes!

is there still a ramp below oakdale by the bridge?

There's a ramp below Norway. If you have a John boat. Really shallow

Monon ramp is located 40 49 27.13 N 86 47 41.19 W Right across from the Tall Timbers marina on Shafer.

I'm quite sure this is dodge camp 40 43 51.72 N 86 45 29.12 W. These coordinates are from google earth.
