I answered my own questions about launchng at Steck today. With the present water level, you can launch a 21' boat, but it isnt for the faint of heart. Both sets of my trailer wheels dropped off the end of the boat ramp, but not so much that the trailer bottomed out. There was enough cross river current that it was tricky getting the boat back on the trailer, especially when I lost one of my side bunks on the way there and had to be careful not to scratch the side of my boat. Also my boat trailer winch strap broke on the way there. I was able to tie it back on to get it home.
Fishing was SLOW. Fished about 1/2 way between Steck and the Cemetary. Found a group of boats and caught a total of 20 crappie for the afternoon. A few boats around me were doing a little better but not a lot. You had to have the right color jig. It was even slow using cut bait and trying maggots.
