franks tract/bethal island

wondering if anyone knows good spot to park and put in at bethal island...maps shows some spots that look promising but not sure if parking just allowed wherever...appreciate any info anyone has...thanks

Not much free launching there. I suggest Sugar Barge. Nice docks and safe parking. Quick access to the tract.

Russos you have to pay.

I concur.  Kayak launch is $5, easy access to a lot of good fishing.

thanks for responses...yeah I launched from Russos and she charged me 12 dollars but I'm gonna try sugar barge..Was out there last weekend and couldn't find a gorilla launch area

Here's a suggestion which has worked for me in the Delta: Find a marina near where you want to fish that doesn't have a boat ramp. Call them up & ask if you can launch off their docks. All the ones I have asked allow me to launch off their docks. Most charge, some don't - you never know until you ask.

Did you drive your car on to the ramp?  That is when they charge more.  It use to be if you wheeled your kayak instead of driving your car on the ramp they only charge $5.

Sunset harbor was $10 to launch kayak.  I was there last weekend.  Didn't do so well.  caught a couple dinks off the channel on way out to big break.  Current kind of rips through there.  Carried me out on tide, then on the incoming, the wind and tide carried be back in = not much pedaling.   .  I think next time I'll fish on the other side of the island.
