Default Launch at Freds.

I had a chance to drive by freds and check out the launch you guys told me about. there were a couple trailers there but has anyone actually launched a 22' bayboat out of this launch? Looks steep and rocky. Not sure launching would be a issue but pickup might be a mess.

What say all of you?

Bro I have never heard of someone launching at Fred's u got to keep going past Fred's it's called Hebert's it's a nice launch man sounds like either u misunderstood and should have kept going past Hebert's or someone was pulling your chain

I wouldnt suggest launching there... i launched my 15ft there once and it was really sketchy it just drops straight off.. not much slope.

There is a launch there with a box to pay 2 bucks. I didn't know it existed until the point closed and someone mentioned it as an alternative. It is for sure not a well kept launch. I launch at hebert's and prien if need be but when your camp is less then a mile from calc point it's hard not to try and find closer options.

Thank god calc point will be done for spring time.

Good place for kayaks or small aluminum boats until CP gets fixed.

I used the launch at Fred's about a month ago but it wasn't a 22ft boat! Launched a 18ft flat with no problem

Be careful where you park if you launch on a Sunday. You may come back to find that you're blocked in by 50 Harleys.

I launched a 16' boat there a few weeks ago.

Years ago, a friend launched his 22' bay boat there.

The "ramp" drops off fairly sharply so you don't need to back down too far.
