Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Small, artificial boat ramp

Is there an easy, quick way to make a small, artificial ramp like spot in a pond? It's just to see if bass will congregate on it in late winter/spring. Thought about just lining up and placing several, 2 or 3 wide, bags of quikcrete. I wasn't sure how well that would work, or how long it would take for the bags to deteriorate.

Whole bags of Quikrete last quite a long time. We have several culverts where we lined the approaches with Quikrete bags 10 years ago; a small % of bags have cracked, but not displaced, since then.

NOTE: You want to get the smallest size of Quikrete bags you can, unless you enjoy schlepping 80 lbs around.

The plastic liner must be new, as I've never seen that in 3 pallets of Quikrete.

Clear now.

So, a few things that may be happening at existing boat ramps in lakes during the winter:
1) There is a hard, defined slope from inches of water to feet of water; this area may 'warm-up' a bit quicker than other areas of the lake.
2) There's no weed growth over these ramps, thus allowing fish to suspend without interference from weeds and plants.
3) There may be a clarity and/or contrast due to the hard surface of the boat ramp that allows you to see fish more easily.
