A friend told me that a friend of his said that he called Refigio. They said it was dredged last week. So I am confused.

I saw this on another fishing forum...2coolfishing...and posted this there:

Dang it...but I did notice the sand build up along the inside of the pilings when I took the yak out last month...the orange line in the picture below. I was skeptical this would happen again given it's a design issue...the materials and methods used are good though...I just didn't think it would happen this fast. Looks like the sand is getting in there on and out going tide from the adjacent area between the bridge and the ramp...black arrow in the picture. I think the way to solve...or at least slow it down alot...would be to build another piling wall in a reverse fashion to an entrance/exit into clean water where there's less sand...red line in picture.

Years ago the ramp at the end of Texas City Dike would silt up...not to mention the big waves from the big ships creating havoc...and something similar to my picture was done way back when. It works given it's still the way it was designed, but they may have to dredge it every once in a while for all I know...still a better solution. It very well may become a kayak, john boat, etc. ramp like I've seen happen here locally...Louis's comes to mind.

Well, I can't figure out how to attach a picture so here is the link to the aforementioned post which includes the picture...see post #4: https://www.2coolfishing.com/threads/bayside-ramp.2730319/?post_id=24184226#post-24184226

bw: Hopefully, that's what Rebecca's firm will suggest. Maybe Refugio will have the money to build it. TexasJim

Don’t be confused Trxredfish1, they did dig it out with a pontoon excavator, although all the spoil material is still piled up in the parking lot and access area to the boat ramp. I feel like they will let it dry there and then Dispose of it as their permit states. Oh well, all this stuff takes time……….cC😎
