The Ramp is fairly steep, Not too bad but make sure you set your brake.
Fishin the Creek if you go up stream the Pan fish, and Crappie is good, Down
stream or to the left, takes you to the Punta Gorda Reservoir
I think the Bass fishing is better down stream.
.
This is the Punta Gorda dam " shell creek dam" that makes the reservoir,
Snook fishing below the dam
Bass, and crappie above.
