Yellow River

bamaman08 · 02-28-2010, 10:23 PM

After getting a boat last summer, I began doing some fishing on the escambia because it was the closest and most accessible place for me. I would like to try out yellow river this year some.

Where is the best ramp to put in? I am coming from Pensacola, so I would guess, maybe the ramp in Milton??

I'm mainly bass fishing. Do I need to go up river or is it better fishing towards the mouth?

Any other tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

We used to launch at Brown's Fishcamp at the end of Ward Basin rd. But I have not been there in years. You can also launch at the Yellow River bridge on 87. Good luck

There are two ramps on Yellow at the south end. Both are off Ward Basin Road. First exit off I-10 past Blackwater Bridge take a right and it will end at Brown it OK, the other use to be calleed Cooye's can't remember the new namebut it OK also.

I had a map that I picked up at Buck & Bass out on Pineforest Rd. Go by there and check it out. I put in at the ramp down at the end of Ward Basin Rd.
