Water Gap Boat Ramp

[Fred E. Goose]

Hey guys, I had a question I'm hoping you could help me out on. I have a 12ft aluminum semi-v (basically a row boat) with an electric trolling motor as the only propulsion (I have an emergency plastic oar as backup). I've had it out locally on monksville, pompton/potash, and green turtle last year and am looking to fish some new areas. I know Swartswood is electric only, and I'm excited about getting out on there. My big question though, is would this set-up be safe to launch and fish the area just north of the water gap (launching at the campground ramp)? I'd really like your input if it's safe at all? If it's safer to head North or South from that area? Or if it's just a bad idea and I should stick to Swartswood?

Thanks in advance,

Fred
