Overview

The South Boat Ramp near Garnett, Kansas provides another access point for anglers exploring the area’s freshwater lake. The ramp is primarily useful for launching fishing boats, kayaks, and other permitted watercraft, with shore fishing possible from designated areas where allowed.

Having both northern and southern access can be useful when wind direction or seasonal fish movement makes one part of the lake more productive than another.

Fishing Tips

Bass anglers can work shoreline cover with soft plastics, crankbaits, or spinnerbaits. Crappie can be targeted with small jigs around submerged structure, while channel catfish respond well to bottom-oriented presentations.

If fishing from shore near the access, stay away from the active launching lane and keep fishing lines clear of boats entering or leaving the water.

Bottom Line

A practical Garnett fishing access point for boat anglers and visitors looking to explore warm-water fishing from the southern side of the lake.
