The Fall Poker run also looks like it will be a fun time. We have never been to Grosse Ile so am not sure what to expect. I am assuming we will launch our boat around the Gibralter area. Does anyone know much about the ramps in that area. Also can you leave your trailer overnight. Not being able to leave the trailer overnight is a big pain, I don't know why if you are willing to pay a fee for each day you are there why so many people won't allow it.

There is a huge ramp at the metro park entered down Jefferson south of Gibraltor. I am pretty sure that you can leave your trailer overnight. At least you used to be able to. It is close to Grosse Ile. There is a LEOPA web site also.

thanks,

The water at Metro was VERY shallow two years ago when we put in for the poker run. I will probably run out of Monroe if I can make it this year.

I always launch at Elizabeth park,it's straight across from Grosse Isle right next to the free bridge( Grosse Isle Parkway) it's 5 bucks per day and you can leave your stuff there overnight.

Thanks, Do you know if the ramp is suitable for a 43' Black Thunder? The ramp can't be to steep or our trailer will bottom out.

I've seen some pretty big stuff down there,I've got a 33' and don't have any problems.I launch and retrieve out of the launching side because there are a lot fishing tournaments out of there and bass boat guys can't seem to figure out what no power loading means.

Your profile says 25' outlaw, so you must have moved up
are you a LEOPA member, I am trying to put the names of people I met on the runs with their OSO names if they have them. I know a lot of LEOPA members don't post very often

No I'm not a member,haven't got around to it yet.

Hi Donna. Erika and I will do the fall run. The cat will be finished next week the 26th. We plan to spend that weekend in Grand Haven boating. The following weekend we will haul it back for the fall poker run.
