So I'd like to target middle ground and that end of the islands this spring and know nothing about ramps in that area. What can you tell me about these. Be interested in fees, parking, time required to launch to even get parking, whether they are only good at certain tides and if there are any floats to tie up as I fish alone at times. Thanks and tight lines.

Bob I launched at Childs last year, I was able to retrieve at mid to low tide, so I don't think tide is an issue. The only minus is the parking is a little walk back but not bad. The ride out is slow, but once you are out it is real quick to MV. There is also plenty of schoolie action, and fluking around Waquoit.

There is NO I mean NO trailer parking at Megansett. Tried there a few years ago and it sucked.

great pond has limited parking close by, only about 10 spots. there is an elementary about 1/2 mile up the road you could park at (used to live across from the elementary school). Great harbor also has limited parking, but if you get there early enough you should be fine. quick ride out, and woods hole is always a good spot to check.

Falmouth
Childs River, Off Rte 28 (municipal) (Ramp is lousy, parking is a horror show. They kayakers always park there in the summer and make it impossible for trailers)

Falmouth Inner Harbor (municipal) Google Map (Nice ramp, very steep and deep. Parking is good, Best ramp in town)

Great Pond, Harrington Street (municipal) Google Map (Not much parking)

Green Pond, Menauhant Road (municipal) Google Map (Short and steep ramp. Watch the end you can drop the trailer right off, seen a few people do it. Parking is OK if you get there early)


Waquoit Bay, Seapit Road (municipal) ( Little or No Parking)

West Falmouth Harbor, Old Dock Road (municipal) Google Map ( (Good Ramp parking is a bit of a walk from the other side of the railroad tracks)



Great Harbor, Water St. Woods Hole (municipal) (Good Ramp No Parking)

I have used the one in Woods Hole, but trying the park a trailer is problematic, esp in the summer. From Woods Hole it is a short 5 or 6 mile run to Middle Ground. Woods hole is deep and protected , you can get out anytide.If the public areas are full, you might be able to find some paid parking in a private lot. There are a couple lots that cater to the MV folks who drive all the way to the boat then start looking for a place to park. It aint cheap though.

I would go before hand and scout out potential parking spots. Street parking in WH is ugly but doable if that is your only option. Do you know anyone who works at WHOI? Work that angle if you do.

Think squid run.... 1-2 oz white bucktails on spin gear..or rubba of course.

green pond or waquoit, both as above small parking lot and you have to watch what you are doing

Bob the easiest is Woods Hole but you need two guys. The best all around bet is the new ramp at Falmouth Inner Harbor, plenty of parking and nice ramp.

I use Green Pond cause it is right down the road from my house. You have to get there early. Flamouth does not charge to use it ramps like Barnstable etc. We are nice folks in Falmouth.

There is NO I mean NO trailer parking at Megansett. Tried there a few years ago and it sucked.

We gotta figure this out too Matt.:cheers:

Use the Falmouth inner harbor ramp, there is plenty of parking, you can use it on any tide, and it's easy access to the sound. Also, if you forget anything there is a West Marine across the street, a tackle shop down the street, marina's, fuel, Dunkins, 7-11 etc...The only negative about this ramp is no overnight parking.

Greenpond is the next best ramp with the best access to the sound, but no overnight parking and be careful not to go to far down the ramp there is a drop-off that your trailer tires can go over. The drop off is easily seen, just scout the ramp before backing down.

Woods Hole is great, but very limited parking.
