Ramp cardHow to fish it
Fish the top and edges. The bend in the reef concentrates bait.
Named for its shape. West Copano oyster reef — good satellite signature on Google/Apple Maps.
Late spring to late fall.
Prop hazard. Idle the last 100 yards. Pole or Power-Pole on the edge — do not plane over the crown. Haynie Cat 23 floats it; the gearcase will not.
