Baitfish,

River Monster and I fish that stretch every week at least once during the summer. We are typically going for bass but catch quite a few pike and musky in that area. I have only ever caught 1 walleye there but again, it isn't my intended species.

The Reeve Craig ramp is definitely the closest that is accessible all of the time. It is a free launch. It has no dock and is gravel if that makes a difference to you.

Pirate Cove Marina has a launch just minutes from the bridge, and great facilities for any last minute needs( gas,oil, etc)

Launched at Reeve Craig lots.It's a decent ramp. As for Walleyes,we used to go out to edge of weeds just off channel right at launch and troll mostly upstream with 1/4 oz jigs with yellow 4" twister bodies.You get a fair share of weeds,but,you also gets lots of "Walters",S/M bass,and occasional Musky. It's quite a smorgasbord.

The one and only I have caught there came near James island...

But as was said above, it came off the weed line.
