Scout's Notes
Ramp Quirks & Etiquette
The West-Shore Twin
Lake Shipp Park — Sertoma Park to generations of locals — is the quieter half of Shipp's launch pair: two concrete lanes, a launch dock, flush restrooms, 40 trailer spots, picnic tables under the oaks, free, 5 AM to 9 PM. When Roe Park is running a tournament, this is the two-minute answer.
Sertoma Times Two
Name care: Lakeland's Sertoma Park on Lake Parker is a different ramp on a different lake eleven miles west. Both are real, both are public, and both appear in fishing reports — confirm which Sertoma before trusting a pin.
Same Water, Softer Pace
Everything Roe Park reaches, this ramp reaches — the May canal north, the Lulu canal south — with an 18-acre park's worth of shade and tables behind you while you rig.
