Ramp cardHow to fish it
Work the whole shell patch. Trout cruise the edges of this isolated mid-bay oyster.
Oyster reef in south-central Copano. Isolated patch — fish the halo around it.
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.
