Does anyone know when the ramp gates up front will open in the moring since the ramp is only open dawn to dusk?  I know you can get out at night cause I have left many times a midnight after catfishing but I have never tried to get in early in the morning.  I might just end up going to Deep Bottom.  Thanks.

Well, i talked to a guy on another forum from Varina and he said that he has been there 2 hours before sunrise and the gate has been open so it sounds like they are not being too strict about the whole dawn to dusk thing.  When I go next weekend, I will report back the fishing of course and whether the gate is open or will open.

If you are worried about it being closed, use Dutch Gap...its open all night with lights.

I am on the other side of the river so I will drive down to Osborne that morning and see if it is open and if it is not, I will just drive on down to Deep Bottom.  Thats 24/7 too.  Its just not all lit up like Dutch Gap.
